Re: How Long Till We average 49 MPG?
Kenny,
I've been watching the HCH II mpg climb. We're closing in on the Prius. I think by September we may be at 48 or higher. I live in WNY state. Back in early March I had my lowest tank - 40.0 mpg  . My lifetime was about 41.? at that time. I don't have a garage or block heater and both my wife and I have short (6-7 mi.) work commutes. On the bright side, my last tank was 62.3 mpg  . I also made it 700.5 miles on that tank. I love the warmer weather! My lifetime is now 48.8 mpg - I believe I'll hit 50 by September. Now I really want a garage and a block heater by then. If more owners would slooow down we'll get there. I find that by going slower - driving is more fun, less stressful, and I get places early not late. Keep up the good work on your mileage.
Regards,
  Don
Best tank 67.5 mpg (555.5 mi.)
Best trip 91.5 mpg (42.2 mi.)
