    I have had my Prius for a week and am on my second tank of gas. PSI on tires are 38/36. My average mpg is 50.5. Half highway/half city. For a Prius that is not broken in, is this mileage an indicator that I am on the way to get good mileage with my driving habits? Tempature during the day has been in the 50s.

    Seems very good to me, but I am somewhat of a noob here.

    That's excellent, you should do really great in warm weather. Even better when you really get 'the feel' for how to most efficiently drive the Prius. You must have a near ideal driving situation.

    Also, just b/c I like to jack up my post count to huge numbers, you should read : This Article <-- Click Here

    It will help you get even better numbers and better understand the conditions that adversely and positively affect your mileage.
