    Okay so I pulled over at the gas station, before pumping I checked my average for the day and it said 54 mpg but after punching in the values on the receipt and adding the kms travelled onto fuelly..it said 64 mpg! How accurate is the calculation on prius v? Anyone having the same issues?

    OK how did you get your display to read (54mpg) ours only says l/100 km
    I just saw yours is a model five did you get it in the US? Ours it the touring without the tech package.

    I apologise. Its in litres/kms - I've noticed majority here speaks in mpg or else yes it 4.2 litre in "Avg mileage" (trip A)

    4.2 L/100 km's = 67.3 Canadian MPG and 56.1 US MPG, so you are not too far off...

    I think your pump shutoff prematurely. I don't think you filled up your tank. It will average next time you fill up because your mpg will be way low. Or - you made a typo entering the Fuelly data... :)

    My Fuelly data is always off by minus 2-3 mpg. Prius will say 40, Fuelly says 38.
    I always enter the odometer reading.

    That's about right. It's off by about 6%.

    Also make note on which mode you are driving - eco, normal or power.

    My mileage according to Fuelly also is always about 2 or 3 mpg lower than the dashboard display (about 3% to 6%). Is there any way the dealer can adjust this so the dashboard display is more accurate? (Or any way I can adjust it?)

    Put front tires that have a 3-6% higher revs per mile ... but you won't like the side effects.
