Featured Stock Toyota Prius Breaks MPG Record for Cross-Country Drive

Curious, no mention of my single tank stunt in a 2010 Prius:

• Included my work commute over a three week period.
• Included errands "doing laps" taking with the dogs.

Back then, I was interested in Prius efficiency:

I was also paying for gasoline.

Wayne says he uses 55–60 psi in his tires. At low speeds, the rolling resistance is the dominating force; so, that would help a lot to get a higher mpg.

I increased my tire pressure from 32 psi to 43 psi today, and my 57-mph-commute mpg went up from 73 mpg to 78 mpg (real numbers).

I get 120+ mpg (real number) in freeway stop-and-go driving.

So, 93 mpg for low-speed hypermiling is really, really bad in my standards, especially if I put 51 psi in my tires (I don’t). I would think there was something wrong with my engine if I didn't get over 100 mpg. LOL
