    62.3 on the display for the tank.....got 5 straight bars of 75 mph in my commute home (26 mi, Prius perfect conditions of 35-45 MPH, even with the guy on my tail acting as if the limit was 50, not 35-40 (which it is on that stretch). Temp has been 40-60 here.

    My OD just turned 25k, and I have learned that P&G is my friend - 60 MPG on mixed hwy and town over the past 6 weeks - easily 5 MPG better than my rate since last summer, when I bought it new.

    Wow! . . . another ancient thread resurrection. Haven't been in the Prius for about 5 days. She who must be obeyed had her 3rd back surgery. Thus I get to drive the lower mpg / hoytie toytie mobile ... Lexus hybrid SUV awd. I'm trying to see if I can average over 600 miles one one tank, and at least 35mpg. I'm at 35.1 right now . . . up from yesterdays picture:

    [​IMG]

    Notice how there's tiny little batteries (with an 'E' in the center) in stead of how it is on the Prius. So anyway, I got about another 1/2 tank to go before I can see what I get.

    I think a lot of them never left the 7th grade playground........although when they pass, they are women often enough, which doesn't fit that theory very well.

    I always feel like channeling Otto in "A Fish Called Wanda".

    Asshooooooooooooole!

    Ah....another Rumpole fan.

    Didn't think his "She" would have looked right driving a Lexus, though........

    108 miles 46.2mpg

    When I filled up, before I let my wife drive 60 miles, I was 16 miles 99.9 mpg. I did cheat though, the car was warmed up when I hit the reset button.

    I'm about 200 miles into this tank and MFD reading 49.5 MPG. Note many of my trips have been only 1 to 5 miles.

    I think it might be useful to include average temperature and average terrain as well...

    My readings above have been in subfreezing to 40F temperatures on a mountain...

    No reading at all, my 2004 MFD just had the classic failure (per Hobbit) :( after 6 years and 172,000 miles. Now I'll have to tear apart the dashboard and make the repair.
