<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(kettledrum @ May 24 2007, 05:06 PM) [snapback]449346[/snapback]</div> Absolutely not. I always fill until it stops. Then remove and reinsert the nozzle and do one more click.
My 2006 prius 'MFD' was right on the money in the beginning, with-in a few tenths. Now, the 'MFD' shows in the low 50's mpg, but when I calculate the numbers, its always in 42/44 mpg range, ALWAYS LATLEY,and I haven't changed my filling up tactics ,when it shuts off, I stop, and most of the time{like 90%} I use the same pump at the same station {Costco} . Its really disappointing, but the numbers don't lie....

confused again, this time it was dead nuts,the MFD was the same ,50.3 both ways,,,,,,,,,,til next time. one thing, I usually fill up no less than a 1/2 tank, however for some reason I got brave and went all the way down to 1 pip, not sure why I waited so long but i did, maybe that has something to do with the differences I 've been seeing/having...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Norman H. Renehan @ Jun 9 2007, 01:06 AM) [snapback]458525[/snapback]</div> Not sure I understand -- are you saying the MFD and the calculated mpg were both 50.3?
In ten months 19196 miles my difference between actual and theoretical is about 3%. 11.9/379. With the theoretical milage slighly higher. My tank differences range from -.95 to +1.25. Which is about a 10% swing. If my MFD versus actual was much different than what others here are reporting I would: First be certain of my math Second, go to my Toyota dealer. Each tank may vary up to 15% but the long term (six tank minimum) should be under 5%.
