Going for 500+ miles on a tank

No worries. I know you have a 2013 v. It says so on your user name. And Yes those are pretty impressive numbers you are getting from your vee wagon. Keep it up!

I was wondering wether Jimfitton has a v-wagon since it's not on his profile.

Update - I read one of his previous posts. Jimfitton has a 2007 Gen-II as it says on his profile. 59 mpg seems pretty impressive from the Gen-II.

 

Here are pictures of my first +500 mile tank pictures taken 8/30/12.
This tank; 501.3 miles, 50.3 MPG

I broke all these personal best records (by a hair) on the next tank, but I didn't take a picture.

Feel free to check out my fuelly stats. It's fun to see the winter dip and Summer boost to MPG. I'm looking forward to new personal highs this summer. I know I got better at driving efficiently and safely with my Prius v over the last year and any break in is broken in by now, so I'm expecting some fun/good MPG scores this Summer. I use my ScanGuageII to show fuel level in Gallons, but I'm too scared to drive past that last (reported) gallon in the tank (again).

 

Best tank ever...

 

I can't top 550. Got a PR today though, 513.1, refulled with 15 miles range left. Calculated 51.4MPG (53.3 on the display). And I think my wife turned off ECO mode and I did not notice for that entire tank.

 

I might be pushing 570 miles on my next tank. Currently at 405 mi with 166 remaining. Shoot! At this rate, I might have to throw my name in the 600 Mile Club | PriusChat

 

My longest tank yet. Put 10.6 gallons in at fillup.

 

Can I ask whether you guys like to use fuelly by tracking odometer reading or trip meter reading and why? I think I'm going to use the odometer because my wife is going to drive my v more than I am and I know she will forget to reset the trip meter sooner or later. Only thing is we won't get the first fuel up recorded but I can track that myself.

 

Great Tank Stats!!! Congrats Deepak!!!
Thanks for all the pics. I love them.
I think you may have set another Prius v record.
Most fuel suffed into a Prius v gas tank = 13.319gal. (11.9 capacity)
I heard you can get 2 gallons in the tube from gas tank to fill hole so you may be able to get a little more in a fill.
Do you have a regular gas fill procedure? Please share if you can.
I'm too afraid to damage the charcoal filter filling the tube out of the gas tank.
