Thumbs up New Driver

Hey all, I picked up my 2005 Prius II on Monday, and filled up for the first time today. I didn't wait for the fuel warning - it was down to one bar and that was enough for me. 53.3 MPG - not bad I guess, but I'm hoping for much better.

I've been playing with pulse and glide - but am also taking a lot of people for test drives,on which I get very poor mileage given that everyone wants to see how the car accelerates, how it brakes, etc, etc....

I have a 100 mile round trip daily commute with a mix of flats and hills, highways and state roads... I'm really hoping to average 60+ soon. Any advice would be great!

Dana
