I bought a new, Barcelona Red Prius, package 5 model, 11 days ago. Thanks to all of you, and your helpful tips, I'm averaging 49 mpg. I realize that this is not fantastic, but given the cold temps here in Idaho, the fact that I just went over 400 miles on the odometer, and my commute is only 12 miles each way, I'm pretty pleased. The use of the scan gauge, blocking the radiator, and some pretty good driving tips including p&g, (still learning this) my mpg is getting a little better each day. Thanks again for all the helpful info.
49 mpg is great mileage for your conditions. Congratulations on the new car, and the great mileage. Tom
:welcome: You are doing great with that kind of MPG now, and you will be amazed when your beautiful car gets warmer weather and summer blend gasoline in the tank. Congrats on your new car and thanks for the thanks! Lee
Wow, that is fantastic! I was getting that until the cold weather arrived, now I am at 45. I have the grill blocked. Keep it up!
