Gallons consumed 50.487
MPG 49.98911

Highest tank 5/28-5/30 249.7 miles. 55.36585366 mpg (coincided with highest ambient temp)

Lowest tank 4/30 - 5/01 193 miles 46.28874388 (coincided with lowest ambient temp)

 

It just keeps getting better!

54.0 mpg via CPU 366.3 miles with 3 bars showing at fillup 5-8-04

55.5 mpg via CPU 423.8 miles with 2 bars showing at fillup 5-18-04

58.2 mpg via CPU 372.5 miles with 3 bars showing at fillup 5-23-04

I got my first oil change at 4990 miles on 5-20-04. I haven't increased the tire pressure. My observations are that short (5-10 minutes) trips are a killer for mileage regardless of outside temperature and highway driving gets much better than the 50 mpg EPA rated. You just got to love this car.

BTW the service advisor at Toyota where I got my oil change said that the mpg will get even better as it is still being broken in. Wow!

Just completed a 180 mile road trip getting 47MPG on the highway (70-75MPH). Then filled up at the local Sam's and got 63MPG in the city on the way home.

Beat that CBS!

On running a quick Excel spreadsheet check on all postings here, it looks my numbers are right at the overall average for everyone here (I tossed a couple of unrealistically high 'flyers' to get this average (I suspect the Prius sold in Japan gets better mileage than the Prius sold here - probably a different configuration).
