Hi all again, I'm pleased to report that a Japanese Prius driver, Kazu@Tochigi, achived 2,361 km/tank (1,467 miles)!!! The computer mileage is 41.6 km/L, 97.9 mpg. The previous records were... 1,460 miles/tank by Slipper@Osaka http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=24054&hl= 1,456 miles/tank by Teddy_Girl@Akita http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=23380&hl= Again, please note that Japanese Prius tank has no bladder and can hold up to 60 liters, 15.9 US gallons. Ken@Japan
Wow Truly awesome. I await news when the magical 100 mpg by one driver goal is achieved. Will this be around 42 km per liter?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ken1784 @ Sep 22 2006, 10:13 AM) [snapback]323372[/snapback]</div> Are these people pushing the Prius? Are they towing it with something? Have they added pedals? Seriously, how can they be achieving such incredibly high mileage? :huh:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(theTurk @ Sep 22 2006, 02:25 PM) [snapback]323593[/snapback]</div> Same here. Where can I get me one of those bladderless Japanese Priuses????
It really would be fun to have a gas tank double the size... filling up once every 2 months instead of once a month. I believe AT-PZEV Priuses - those sold in California and some New England states - have even smaller tanks than those sold in the US in general. I have such a vehicle.
All USA Prii have the same tank, same emissions rating, same everything except for region specific options packages and such.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(efusco @ Sep 22 2006, 08:27 PM) [snapback]323671[/snapback]</div> OK OK enough about the bladderless Japanize. What is the record for the US Prius?
Oh, can we just buy a Japanese tank and pop it in to our Prius. I think we need a few people to find a tank that will fit our car even if it is bigger, say 20 gallons U.S. Just kidding, I would not want to pay for the extra gas it would take just to carry the extra gas. I wouldn’t mind consistently seeing all 99's across my MFD though.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(SoopahMan @ Sep 22 2006, 05:19 PM) [snapback]323668[/snapback]</div> All Prius in all US states are AT-PZEV with the same bladder tanks.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(kaptaink @ Sep 23 2006, 09:36 AM) [snapback]323676[/snapback]</div> The US record is 1,397 miles by the marathon team last summer. http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=10705&st=71 Ken@Japan
