2013 Persona Project..

go for the 500!

 

Shiny Blizzard Pearl @Xterra72!
Nice grill inserts too.

 

Xterra72,

I wish it would get warmer around here darnit.

My last 3-4 tanks have been in the 39's mpg wise and I have not broken 400 miles a tank since my first tank, and I drive like a grandma as I said before (55 mph almost all the time, have my tires 44/42, try to barely use the heater if at all, have the lower grill blocked, don't do a lot of short trips).

I just filled up in Delaware as it was $2.35, as opposed to $2.49+ back home and I got 39.49 mpg calculated!! Kinda blows as imagine I was not doing all the above i'd prob be at 35'ish mpg

Warmer weather should def improve my stats though.

Meanwhile you are killing it on the west coast

 

True.

Then again that's the price you pay for living in Palm tree land.

I moved out of there in 2004...

Coming bak to visit for a couple weeks in June though...

 

Xterra72, mind sharing what material you used for the tailights? A lighter shade like yours will look better than the dark tint I have over my DRLs.

 

Got it. I'll check around for that.
thanks.

 

Could you give info on the upgraded sockets in the lower center console? Thanks!

 

The low gas prices was nice while it lasted.. I pushed it to to just over 500, 2nd time. You are right there.. clearly based on your mpg you can do it.. Our 17" wheels are not that bad.. but maybe the Toyo's are that good?

2nd 500 mile tank

 

Seriously.. Prius tank size is 11.9 so say you push it to 11.5 for simple math sake.. 600/11.5 = 52mpg. 700/11.5 = 60,87 mpg! 600 I can see that but 700.. I bet they are literally not stopping and just keep on rolling. Nevertheless, quite a feat. Impossible where we live.
