    Slow to see this - but how many Pips left? How many Gas refills?

    My one of few reservations of going from liftback to PiP is overall mileage on a single tank. EPA of course rates it differently, saying I think you can go 550 miles in a regular Prius while it's like 510 or something in a Pip?

    it really depends on how far below the blinking pip you want to go. blinks around 8 gallons, so depending on your mpg's you might get 480-520. 9 gallons, 540-585 and 10 gallons:eek: 600 to 650!:D of course, the lift back will give you 2 more gallons.

    But the liftback won't give you 65 mpg :p At least not normally

    Yes! Weather and every thing were just right. I make the same trip 5-6 times a year to visit my brother. This is the best I have ever done!:)

    Go to my fuelly page and you can see all my fuel ups and notes about trips.
    The worst? Just a guess? Winter time, mid to low forty's. Summer time average maybe around 52-54mpg, wind is a big variable, need low winds.

    On Fuelly it's just each fill. But I don't know which fills are straight trips (ie, fill once, charge once, what's the range and such?)

    That's true, Sorry, it's the best I can do other than guesses. Some of notes show number of EV charges, usually just the one charge. A few times one additional charge. Also like this last trip, I am still driving with 3pips of gas left, most trips at home are all EV! So I will be driving most of the summer on all electric until I visit my brother again.
