Most recent tank

My last tank was ok despite the colder weather and lots of wind.

06/25/2012
Miles: 554.2
Gallons Pumped: 8.962
MFD = 62.8mpg
Calculated = 61.8mpg
MFD vs. Calculated = -1mpg
% Error = 1.62

 

Well, there are here some "no brand" gas stations that offer cheaper prices, but prices are not that good. Imagine that 2 months ago, gas prices were up to 1,850€/l.

 

Ouch! I hope that prices will stabilize. Thanks for the response.
I still can't imagine how you did 2.9 l/100km for the whole tank

the Prius made its first beep and the last bar started blinking when the trip odo read 640 miles, DTE=0 reachat at 660 miles, but Flv hovered aroun .7 gallons left... stop refilling after the first click/auto shutoff.

Great tank! Is that one of your better ones?

 

620.9 miles
Car says 67.9 mpg
Calculator says 64.8 mpg
Ave speed 31
Miles to empty 22
$2.999 per gallon with 30 cent discount at Shell.
$28.73 for the tank of 9.58 gallons

The hot weather helps. This car just keeps getting better and better. This is a personal best.

 

Who are you talking to?
I see you hit 63 a couple times. My personal best is 54.4.
Did you have a Prius before you got your 2012? If so, what was your mileage in the winter out there in Nebraska?

 

Dang! Walter and Rokibler just posted some killer tanks!

 

Great tank! When you fill up, what does your cruising range say? So far my best is 605 miles.

 

Nope...just got my first one in April. It will be interesting to see what winter will be like. I am looking forward to the traction control and anti lock brakes though.

 

Sorry, I've never looked at the predicted range. But here are the actual ranges for the last five tanks: 563, 569, 603, 623, and 621. The average range since I got the car is 544 miles/tank.

 

You can figure it out after the fact if you track your tank. Just add the mileage you put on your tank to the existing cruising range.

 

This last tank went pretty well despite a long trip which dropped me from 66.6mpg at around 300miles to 64mpg. I had claw my way back up. RE the short tank; I thought I was going on a long trip today and I'd be testing AC wattage use but the trip was terminated too. lol

Not bad for my third tank. It took 2 1/2 weeks to get through it. Zero highway, but i did have a 80 mile round trip through some 50 mph hills, with traffic lights halfway up some of the hills.

As Cypress Hill used to sing "Insane in the membrane!"

Very nice numbers! I'm jealous of the avg speed. I can only dream of no highway driving.

Pretty happy with my 4th tank, running with 17" wheels. Tires at 46/44.​

​

The last pip started blinking at 513 miles which, based on the calculated economy, means I had about 120 miles remaining before empty. I will confirm this on a couple more tanks and then will feel better about ignoring the evangelicals preaching getting gas right after the pip starts to blink. I routinely went 100 miles past the last pip blinking on my 2004 and expect to be able to do the same in the 2012.

Good job, Brotha!

 

^ Thanks, F8L. I have a long ways to go to catch up to your numbers. 60 avg ain't shabby at all.
