    I achieved a new Gen 4 Prius Prime mpge record last Sunday night on my grocery trip.

    vehicle: blue 2021 Prius Prime Limited @ ~ 24,000 miles
    outside temperature: 75 ℉
    one-way distance: 7.6 mi
    maximum cruising speed: ~ 25 mph (= 27 mph on the speedometer)
    A/C use: none
    fog lights: on
    audio: on

    mpge = 33.705 kWh/ge × mi/kWh

    outbound-trip mpge: 280 mpge = 8.3 mi/kWh
    round-trip mpge: 276 mpge = 8.2 mi/kWh


    useable battery capacity: 33.705 kWh/ge × 25 mi / 133 mpge = 6.34 kWh

    BEV range corresponding to the outbound mpge: 53 miles
    BEV range corresponding to the round-trip mpge: 52 miles

    Note that both legs were fairly flat, with minimal change in elevation—so, there is no cheating here. In practice, you can even have a negative mpge if you only drive downhill.
