    Hello,

    I just picked up my Prius option #2 this last Friday the 4th. I recently sold my Audi A6 (gas guzzler) and wanted a better option in the mileage not to mention the environment. I got the magnetic gray color. Does anyone know what type of mileage I can expect after filling up the tank? I'm a little over half a tank and I've only gotten about 130 miles. Yes, I used to have a heavy foot prior to this and will start watching the speed. So any idea on what to expect as far as miles are concerned? I'm thinking at least 400 miles to a tank of gas city and highway combined. Is that unreasonable? On the highway, I'm going anywhere from 70-80 mph and leaning more on the 70 mph now.

    Thanks

    at 70 -80 MPH I would guess about 40 MPG.
    I do the speed limit of 65 on the highway, 45 on our county roads and 35 on our local streets. I get 51 -52 MPG in winter and 54-55 MPG in the summer.
