By tracking your weekly MPG performance, you can experimentally verify what works and doesn't work. Using the database and the scientific method, you can recreate most of the FAQ.

i second these suggestions. basically, you'll learn how your prius operates the first month. you'll learn how to read the gauges and adapt your driving style to maximize mpg. i've had my 06 hch for about 3 months now and am still refining and optimizing my driving technique. i've gone up from 45mpg to around 49 and plan to hit over 50. it will be a balance between what you want to achieve as a driver (mpg/speed, etc.) and how the car wants to manage things. all in all, it's quite fun and you'll be smiling ever mile knowing that you're helping the environment and saving money!
