    This is my current since I bought it. Done a few roadtrips which cuts the total overall down. I stopped showing it my signature because it doesn't update, for whatever reason when I add another fuel-up.

    Edit: okay it's still not working right. I have over 33.fuel-ups to date and the badge is stuck on 10 fuel-ups. Total combined is 64.6 MPG.

    I wish I knew why my Fuelly sig entry doesn't update either - its stuck at 1 fill-up. I figure if someone wants to see my 2024 MPG details, they will click through. I think I've tried every which way to show it...

    Given I now have a similar car (thanks to recall) with exactly the same engine as the P5 HEV but slightly worse areodynamiques, Im really surprised how easy it is to hit the speed limiter. Its like the car can go much faster but suddenly it just stops.
    Its definately very effortless to use up the whole range up to vmax - the car invites me to. That explains some less optimal mpg...

    The new Toyota Prius, it takes more discipline to be boring!

    How's that for a slogan lol.

    I must have a lot of discipline! ;)

    Your Fuelly badge/dashboard should display an average of your last 10 refulings. As you keep adding data you'll see a seasonal divergence of the badge/dashboard and your more detailed full information window.

    Mine seems to be showing the whole lot. Agrees with my spreadsheet too.

    Addendum: when I started might be a factor, believe it was 2011. I have heard those that signed up later had issues, something buggy.

    Yes we know that. It just won't update the link we put in our signature. Mine has been stuck on ten 10 fill ups. On the fuelly site, it shows my average over 33 fill ups.

    @Preebee : Well said!! I mostly drive "boringly", but it is fun to occasionally play a little. The way I explain it to my wife is "I was out getting terrible ECO scores". The neat part is if you only play occasionally, it doesn't really show up on your overall stats.

    Those numbers are a pipe dream for me. I get 23-33mpg depends if I'm pulling a load or not. My engines run at redline all day. High speeds and pulling loads hurt the numbers.

    I got 65mpg one year we summered on Big Coppit Key w/o pulling the boat. 45 zone there.....
