    62.7 for 20 miles. I just filled up this morning, then got behind a slow moving Chevy Suburban all the way to work. For some reason the tailgaters and lane weavers stayed away from me today. I guess it's OK to go slow if you're driving an SUV. :rolleyes:

    161mpg, 1465miles. over 2gal. to go before fillup (two bars left)

    Plugin Battery pack- Hymotion, 5kwhr 25mile range at 40mph.
    Mostly driving around Green Valley Az. at 40mph or slower plus a few 50mile trips into Tucson at up to 70mph.

    That beats everybody else who have posted here!

    Now, wish I had that 12000$ I paid just before the recession hit!

    Unless the kids are a few hundred pounds a piece and on the exterior of the car for maximum air-drag, you can potentially do much better.

    If you are new, fill out the questionnaire on mileage: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...-answer-these-questions-esp-if-youre-new.html

    It might also be where you live. If it's cold and hilly, (or if you are doing a lot of 65 mph+ driving), you might be getting about what you'll get. Mine is at 44.2 with about 600 miles of averaging. It's been chilly, so I've had the heater at 74, and school is in full session, so I'm driving 65 mph to and from work as the majority of my driving.
