    Prius 2007.
    I keep the exact MPG (thanks to spreadsheets) and at 5.164 milesI have used 109.92 gals of gas for 46.98 mpg. The last 1,000 miles I have got 48.80 mpg. Compared to my old car which was a Navigator I have saved aprox $565. It is nice to fill up for 15 bucks or so instead of $60. Love my Prius. :rolleyes:

    Congrats!! Thats pretty good considering serveral factors, i.e. its winter and mileage drops some with the temperature, and (2) your car is new and still withing the 5000 break in period. As you continue to drive, your mileage will increase, as will your experience driving a Prius. As the spring comes, and temps warm up your mileage will increase as well.

    Welcome, and keep reporting in on your car!! We all love to hear what's up with all our colleagues.

    My MPG runs about 1 more than the car says.
