As you can tell, this was my first tank. Mileage wasn't that impressive compared to what other people have gotten. (Although the A/C has been on non-stop while driving since day one.) I had to fill up with two bars left on the gas gauge because I wasn't sure when I would be able to find a gas station again.

The current tank is getting 48 MPG after driving 200 miles. Hopefully that will continue, if not improve...

 

Tank miles: 356

Okay, that makes me feel better about my "low" mileage.

 

Everyone says the tanks get better the more you drive. The car is "broken in" and you'll be watching the consumption screen like a crack fiend trying to get the mpg up.

 

Tank miles: 378
Overall Miles: 152,781
Avg Tank Mileage: 43.4 MPG
Avg Overall Mileage: 40ish MPG
Avg Temperature: 60s
Price per Tank: 2.039 for 8.7 Gallons
Fillup Cost: $17.75

1995 Saturn SL1
This may be my last fillup for this car, I got my Prius' VIN today.

 

The consumption screen is both addictive and highly competitive. Last night I woke up a sleeping passenger to gloat about getting 99.9 MPG for fifteen solid minutes... while driving down a mountainous highway.

I went 31 miles after Fuel Gauge "E" started to flash.

I love this car! Thinking about trading my BMW M3 for another one.

 

Needing to use the truck more, along with riding the motorcycles this month have definitely reduced my normal month mileage. Only four tanks of fuel were purchased this month for the Prius. Last night marks what should be my last tank of fuel purchased for the month of May, so here goes:

Tank Miles: 2,154.8 miles

Overall miles: Approximately 21,000

Overall miles calculated: 50.8mpg

Overall miles displayed: 53.8 mpg (figure averaged over 4 tanks)

Temps have been consistenly in the mid to upper 80's all month.

 

Tank miles: 555
Overall Miles: 2133
Avg Tank Mileage: 52.61 MPG
Avg Overall Mileage: 47.05 MPG
Avg Temperature: 80s, for the most part
Price per Tank: $20.26 for 10.55 gallons
Avg Price per Gallon: $1.92

The gauge showed 1 bar, not flashing. The mileage was a combination city/hwy.

 

Is there some screen which tracks "lifetime" gas average, or is it just the tank?

Is everyone keeping spreadsheets on their lifetime, or is it hidden somewhere. If so, can someone please tell me where it is.

Thanks,

Also, one other quick question, I have an options for screen brightness for day and night time, where do you enter the time??

Thanks,

 

Nope, just the Tank

Excel is your friend

Day is when the Dimmer Wheel to the lower left of the steering wheel is locked 'on'.

Night is when it's not.

It's a manual operation, but you can use the ambient outside brightness for guidance on when to activate it.

driving by the Chevron and noticed that there was a gas war going on and the price cut was 9cent's a liter lower than yesterday so gased it up, put in all I could and it took 17.60 liters total cost $16.00 and I had driven a mix of urban surbaban and had done 392Km. So crunching the numbers it looks like this
4.48979Liters per 100Km's
62.916MPG Imperial
52.388MPG US
total mileage on the car is 2890KM temp was 18C and the indicated on the MFD was 5.2 L per 100K
I knew that the mileage was getting pretty good as it had just dropped to 1/2 tank
