My winter mpg in maine for Dec, Jan, Feb (these have been my lowest 3 months for MPG) from 12/2004 to 2/2006 has averaged 46 MPG. With regard to snow driving, I ski almost every weekend during the winter and I do not own a 4WD car. As far as I am concerned the more snow the better, I put snow tires on the car (Dunlop Graspic DS-2) in November and take them off in April, my drive to Sugarloaf USA is about 2 hours one way and I have never had any problem with winter driving in the Prius. Month by month history follows: Month Avg MPG for month Jun-04 51.70 Jul-04 53.69 Aug-04 48.96 Sep-04 50.60 Oct-04 50.99 Nov-04 47.09 Dec-04 46.13 Jan-05 42.34 Feb-05 46.43 Mar-05 47.87 Apr-05 50.19 May-05 50.73 Jun-05 52.87 Jul-05 52.67 Aug-05 53.65 Sep-05 55.08 Oct-05 52.60 Nov-05 50.10 Dec-05 46.46 Jan-06 47.76 Feb-06 47.06 Mar-06 51.44 Apr-06 51.28 May-06 59.21 Jun-06 65.72 Dennis
if you are truly being 'devastated' by fuel prices, you should seriously take stock of your financial situation as a whole, and perhaps, give up automobile ownership altogether. if you cant afford gas, you cant afford a car...and also try cutting back on things a frugal family really doesnt need, like HBO III, bottled water, broadband internet etc. good luck !
So has anyone noticed a difference in the 2006 VSC programming from that of previous years? <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mystery Squid @ Apr 22 2006, 03:24 PM) [snapback]243708[/snapback]</div>
