First Tank miles--400 Total miles--400 MFD--45.9--mpg Calculated--50 mpg Temps--105---114 Air always on... Did my 1st fill up this morning, the MFD was at 46 until that last little hill to the station and then it popped down to 45.9
1st tank ever - 486 miles @ 53.5 mpg (MFD) Calculated MPG is off due to a short fill from Dealer at delivery. ~43mpg 490 miles on car. 42/40. Oil Level - Full, 90% surburban city, 10% Hwy, 70-95F, 80ish% RH, Level terrain
Yippee! I broke my old tank record. My previous record was 55mpg. I filled up yesterday and averaged 57mpg. I lucked out on the way to work today because there was no one on the highways tailgating me. I drove slower than usually and used the PAG (pluse-and-glide) method a lot more. My round trip average since my fill up is showing 66mpg. I know this is misleading but it is encouraging. VABeach, My first tank average was 45mpg. I was depressed until I learned how to drive the car from this forum. You did very well for your first tank. Highest average tank (MFD): 57mpg Temps 97-99 Heat index 102-105 AC set at 76 degress Average round trip 10 miles. Fuel $2.689/US gallon
New record tank for me as well. This was a slightly short fill (last tank calculated to 64.1mpg despite only showing 61.x on the MFD). This time at 573 miles with the last bar flashing for about 10 miles I filled up with 64.5mpg !!! on the MFD. Calculated out to 61.6mpg. Interestingly, but not necessarily significantly, this was a tank of Shell gas instead of my usual Murphy's gas from Wal-mart. Probablely most significant is that I was able to drive at off peak hours and keep the speeds down for all but about 200 miles of the tank. Anyway, even 46k miles into this car I'm still learning, improving and enjoying the hell out of this fine vehicle.
i decided to get gas a little early due to oil prices, so i didn't make it my usual 500+ miles. the MFD said 60.2, i overfilled it a bit and got a calc of 54.84 (483miles, 8.807gallons). average driving temps were around 75-80F. great news for me though, i found a different route home from work. managed 80mpg without using P&G, though i did glide a lot. so much gliding the ICE ran a lot of the time just keeping warm. can't wait till i get off my lazy behind and install my EV switch.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ Jul 13 2006, 12:56 PM) [snapback]285742[/snapback]</div> Well I just put in my 6tyh tank in at 3250 mi. The MFD was at 63.1, so I thought I would be having my best tank ever. The pump clicked off at 10.4 Gal at 646 MI on the tank, but I decided to make sure if was totally toped off. I was able to squeeze in 12.1 Gal. Hurt my milage a lot, (53.5 MPG) but it is good to see how much the bladder varies on a hot day 96F. Maybe I will get a 700 mile tank out of this next tank!

7/13 - 7/22 data 255 miles (first fillup) 8.479 gallons 30.1 mpg (ouch) Had terrible mpg reading when I drove home from the dealership, so I'm sure they idled it for a while with the AC running. Ditto on the tint install, mpg tanked after I picked it up. I don't think the tank bladder was stretched out, either, so hopefully this next tank will work better. 50 miles into the new tank, my MFD reads 48.2 mpg.
Yep, they probably did. My new tank is at 3.3L/100km and 30kms but I know I won't keep it cause I have a service appt + steering wheel recall on Wed. This means a drained battery and I expect it to read 6.x or higher.
Total miles: 1055.2 AVG: 59.6 MPG MFD numbers averaged becuase I am still on the second tank. Current Tank: 564 miles, 66.2 mpg Tires: 42/40 Miles on Car: 1055 Oil: Full Oil Type: From factory AC use: minimal Thanks, Chris
Tank miles--649.3 MFD--64.1 mpg Calculated--64.1 mpg I've had my Prius for just over three months now and this was my record tank! My life to date average is 57.2 mpg and it is on its way up.
No record tanks here! in fact, as I suspected my apparent record tank was not: monthly totals: miles: 1690.7 gal: 36.037 MPG: 46.9157
