Got a 2010 Prius with 13 miles on it so I know I still have to break it in. I am averaging about 38 miles to the gallon right now. Is that normal?
Averaging 38 is normal for me, but looking for the mpg's to increase when the weather starts to warm up. What are your trips out like? Mine are fairly short so the vehicle rarely gets to run in EV mode.
You won't get very good mileage under those conditions. The colder weather now doesn't help either. If you want fuel economy help, please answer the questions at http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii...-answer-these-questions-esp-if-youre-new.html. If you have some expectations based upon EPA estimates, please read http://priuschat.com/forums/other-c...uth-about-epa-city-highway-mpg-estimates.html.
EV mode = electric vehicle mode, i.e. anytime you're not using the gas engine. Way too soon to tell (so don't worry!). If you do want further help, though, responding to cwerdna's post with the newbie questions is the way to go, and people can give you advice off your specific situation. Congratulations on the new car!
