Prius mileage

[Fenton Murray]

I get about 45 with my 06 Prius. My area of California has lots of hills which probably accounts for the lower mileage. But heh, 45!! I'm happy.

  I have a 2006 Prius. I have kept track of every fuel purchase we've made. Over the past 2-1/2 years we have averaged 53 mpg. My mileage is pretty consistent with what Frank reports. Most tanks come out in the low to mid-50s mpg. Had a few of 60 mpg or over and a few just less than 50 mpg. I also find the display mileage to be about 1 - 2 mpg optimistic.

  Your 42 - 45 mpg is a surprise to me. We've never had a tank come out that low. You got a lead foot? Do you at least do some minimal hypermiling?

  My excellent Prius mileage motivated to me make a few modifications to my motorcycle - the past four tanks I've averaged 65 mpg! Gotta have my 500 lb. machine at least get a little bit better mileage than my 3,500 lb. Prius!

  Enjoy your Prius! You gonna get the $10K plug-in conversion? There is a company out your way (S CA) that does that......

      Hey we just bought a 2007 null last month & we've had a good time getting to know it.  We took it from here to 6500 feet in the mountains, drove 160 miles and at the end  put in 2.7 gallons of gas.  Now that's 59 miles per gallon & unless the gas nozzle at the station shut off too soon or whatever I didn't make any math errors. Is this possible.
      Even if it took 3 gallons that's still 53.3 miles per gallon. The heads up display was saying we averaged 48.4.
      Before this,,,, around town & such with two people & air on, we've gotten 42 to 45 mpg
