Who has highest mileage on odometer?

Discussion in 'Prius c Fuel Economy' started by KMAN4190, Dec 13, 2012.

  1. I was able to capture what happens when your Trip monitor rolls over 10,000 miles.

    I pulled into a restaurant lot at the perfect time and caught 9999.9:

    and then I went about another hundred feet or so until it went to 10000 miles, but instead of displaying 10000.0 it displayed zero: 0.0

    Trip B is the number of miles I've put on my car since I first picked it up.

    So, with some inflated tires and going 55 mph on the highway, it can get 50+ mpg overall.


    I didn't think of taking a video until after I rolled 10,000 miles on Trip B. I tried backing up the hundred or so feet that I traveled to go from 9999.9 to 0.0 in the first place (I was in a parking lot where I could do this), but it wouldn't change back to 9999.9, it just stayed at 0.0 (n)

    To those who have posted recently: any maintenance/repairs other than the routine maintenance in the manual (or caused by accidents)?

    I came across/contribute data to this site: TrueDelta -- Real Car Owners Driving Real Car Information
    Data from the high-mileage c owners would probably be useful to those considering buying one.

    :) Wow I had my oil changed today at 45,400 miles, on my 2012 C. I feel like my C is still brand new and has yet to be broken in compared to some of you. :D

    I changed my Trans fluid at 35,000 miles. It cost about $120.00 at the Toyota dealer. I would not allow it to go unchanged past 30,000 miles. This is cheap insurance to having a happy CVT.

    I agree. I decided to play it safe and switch to this plan. Both my Prius C and my CT now get regular transmission fluid changes every 60k miles.

    My mileage is certainly not the highest, but reached a milestone today. If you were wondering what happens when the odometer turns over from 99999 to 100000 - nothing special.

    Just scheduled my 85,000 mile service.
    It has been a great commuter car (90 miles round trip a day/all freeway miles)

    I met an older gentleman in Brownstown Indiana last month, with a 2012 Prius C 3. He had 184,000 miles on the odo (all his) and stated he only has had to replace the brake pads once... The car was in really good shape, no dents/dings, could have used a wax job.

    I am at 136,000 I have had to change the left back axle, in which is was extremely loud ($900) and now the timing cover is leaking oil out of gasket another $2,200 ( if I don't fix it then it will break down on the road because the timing chain will fail ($2,200)

    I did put a tint job on the car, but my windows have all been broken so many times I decided no more tint on the windows.

    I put a snowboard rack on top for my snowboards, skis to go snowboarding with all my friends.

    and a hitch and a 4 bike rack, I bike with all my friends.

    Put some custom rims on to reduce the weigh and increase tire size and run to improve MPG to get better shifting.

    It is a great car, traveled all over California, Nevada with it. Will drive it across to NYC one day I hope.. hoping to max the mileage out.

    Has anyone put any work on the upholstery? I could use some feedback on that. The interior gets dirty fast. Hard to keep clean. I do use a Dyson to vaccum it but the stains are impossible to remove.

    At this point at 136k miles, debating if I should put a back up cam, and upgrade the audio in the car for more riding, or if this is just a soft break-ing into the car.
