    I expected my new 2017 Prius Two to do better than my 2012, but man, I didn't expect this. I put 600 miles on my very first tank, filled up with 9.753 gals. For an actual 61.5 (63 on the MID). This was almost all highway miles. In the coming weeks I'll be driving my 3 mile commute which I'm sure will drag down the mpg's, but my first impression "Rocket Dog" is stellar!

    Yeah, the difference is night and day. On my Gen 2, I got 50-55 mpg round trip to work.

    With my Gen 4, I get 60-65 to work, and 80-90 back home.
