Default 773KM in one Tank - 37 Litres

This car is amazing! I drove it 773Km/483mi in one tank again (until the last bar starts flashing). Filled it up with 37L/9.78gl. that equals 49MPG.

90% city 10% highway




Does anyone know how far this car can go if i drive just highway alone, lets say on a long trip on one tank of gas?

For tank distance data, just look at the compare section on this site for Prius and see some of the longer distances that have been measured for the most fuel efficient posts.

I usually fill up with two bars/pips remaining and have averaged about 800 kilometers/500 miles per tank.

Thanks

Wow! that's amazing 800KM with 2 bars left.

I'm still getting used with mine, i just got it on the 7th of march

I try to drive as normally as possible though, i dont do that pulse glide thing just gas, go, and stop as i would with my other car.


I also read the article on the 1400 mile with one tank, Can our cars can really do that??!!

thanks for the replies,
best regards,
gj

Overfill fuel tank, overinflate tires, never exceed 41 miles per hour, a few gentle rolling hills, drive with utmost skill and concentration.

The car can do it, but not with me driving.

That wasn't highway driving, that was more rural/city driving. The mpg will be less on the higway. I'd guess these guys would get between 90mpg and 100mpg. I know one of the guys (Wayne aka Xcel here) has been able to achieve 80mpg on the highway over a 2 1/2 hour drive in my HCH I and I was limiting the techniques he could use.
