    Congrats on your retirement. I dont even know what Excel is! :ROFLMAO: And retirement is overrated. ;) I'm going on 10 years... When does the FUN start??? I hope I dont end up like bisco, with ONE MILLION POSTS. :LOL:

    Somebody said that spending so much time on Priuschat is bad for your health. Thats very possible, if a person NEVER gets out of the house for some exercise! Some guys never seem to log off. :eek: I at least go for a daily drive. Take the Starship down to the beach. Enjoy some peace.

    Back to my Jack Daniel's on the rocks. ;) Great for back pain.

    *Warning* I may be "drunk posting." o_O:confused::D

    Well, it's an interesting study in psychology. :) All the MPG charting, logging, and spreadaheets that some people do. I just simply glance at the ODO on the dashboard. :LOL:

    Are you a mathematical savant? Kind of reminds me of Ben Affleck in that movie " The Accountant." :D
    Take care, Enjoy retirement.

    Anyone from this post still following it?? My 2017 had a sudden drop in mpg too but none of the suggestions y’all made were the problem. I’ve done manual calculations too and yes it’s a dramatic drop (10mpg!). Dealership has been more hassle than help.

    My biggest changes have occurred with weather changes. I bought it in winter and got mid 50's. Once spring came around it went up to mid 60's. Summer happened and it's back to 50's again. Fall and it was back to 60's. Repeat. The car seems to be like me, it doesn't like it too hot or too cold.
