    So, it’s not really hot yet but temperatures are up and a flat slow commute sure help the MPG’s climb.

    I just got about 45 mpg round trip in 100 degree weather with the climate control set at 71.
    You ain't seen summer yet! :D

    When I do use the climate control I set mine @ 78. Does blow coolish air at that setting...

    I have mine set to 70 @ 2 bars on blower and still get 65/85 going and coming home from work. Think I will set it to auto to see if its still the same on tomorrow's commute.

    I am truly amazed. It is my third Prius (2016, 2018, and now 2019), and this morning's commute - my first one with the new Prius - was at 70MPG. I could not believe my eyes. I have my AirCo on Eco mode, with passenger/full optimization, but never did my previous Priuses get a mileage similar to this one. Woo Hee!

    It wasn't my idea, but Florida drivers seem to have an aversion to my Priuses. Got rear ended and totaled twice now. :/

    I'm up to roughly 70 mpg city, but that's for short jaunts only (<10 mi)

    Just curious. Is this all city?

    Yes, all city driving. Since I am retired I am never in a hurry and tend to avoid the freeway.

    Lol. I resemble that remark. You cannot get good gas mileage when you're in a hurry. :cool:
