    I have a 2009 Prius with 257K original traction battery
    purchased it in 2014 at 27K
    I used to get 45-60MPG usually
    47-50mpg in town traffic at 47mph and
    55-60mpg on the interstate if i keep it at 60Mph.
    that was up to around 2016
    I keep an excel file now of all the stats to track.

    in 2017 i replaced the 12V battery and you can see my mileage started dropping at that point, the dreaded low ev state as discussed in the other thread.

    so at approx. what MPG will I get the code to replace the traction battery? you can see my MPG drops a little every year and im down to 39.22mpg right now.

    sorry for the skewed numbers, it all looks good in the writing section, just gets skewed once posted
