    Was getting 42.9 last 400 miles before fillup, then my husband put in a fuel additive Sunday night and now I am getting 54.2. Since fillup and additive, I have driven over 100 miles at 54.2. Amazing stuff.

    58.2 mpg... Just filled up this morning ($2.39 per gallon!) and drove to work and back, 38 mile round trip in mostly stop and go traffic using eco mode. Average speed was under 40 mph and fortunately the lights are somewhat synchronized!

    67.5 mpg in my 2009 Gen II (32k miles, I drive it mi/day commuting)

    Last tank was 63.5

    Last 3 months have averaged 64 or so (tanks, not dash display)

    Have been using the following rule proposed here at PC for P&G up to 41 MPH:

    0.5-1.1 x MPG = speed for pulses
    Pulses must accelerate the car by at least 1MPH per sec; if not, begin gliding
    Aim for maximum glide%

    Seems to work for me......

    right now 55.6 (100 miles on this tank so far)
    overall (5k+) 52.4
    mostly city/suburban driving. tires at 40 psi. warmer weather seems to have increased mpg even with some AC use. i do slow starts (when traffic permits) and keep highway speed below 65 mph.

    I could never get 60 mpg consistently

    By memory, 52.7 as of last night.

    It's a fairly new car (under 2,000 miles), and I haven't even upped the tire pressure yet. I do some modest things to promote higher MPG, but haven't been doing things like controlled pulse & glide. I'm sort of getting a base line for the stock set-up at this point.

    Currently 620 km at 3.8l/100km which is about 400 miles at 61.8 mpg. Average over the last 10,000 miles is 53.5 mpg during an entire year.

    Right now 79 miles/46.1, but last week I did several hundred miles from Portland to Mt. St. Helens to Mt. Rainier at Paradise and back to Portland: 51.5 (with occasional AC usage). What a deal!!

    right now, I'm at 66.1mpg and 340 miles into my current tank... Prius likes hot-n-humid SC summers, methinks...

    58.5mpg after about 400 miles. In my defense that's because I only drove about 23 of them. Or to put it another way, that's with it being driven normally for all but 23 miles.

    (Mods: 39/37, 50% lower grille block)

    180 miles into this tank, about 80 miles at 58 MPH and 100 at 72 MPH and I'm at 61.5 MPG. Only minor A/C use and a slight tailwind. At the end of the 80 miles at the lower speed, I was around 68 MPG.
