....when I have a great tank going!

I've gone 380-some-odd miles, and I still have just under a half-tank left!

So y'all can just shush now and stop your cussing and gesturing at me as you pass me...I'm bound and determined to "putt-putt" my way as close to a 600-mile tank as I can! :o

I promise I'll "scoot along" on my next tank! <well, maybe....this may become habit-forming!>

I got a 61.6 MPGgoing at about half left.

My best ever.

I can't brag about the miles per tank cause I have one of those California AT-PZEVs with the 10.2 gallon tank.

Speaking of good tank, I'm 200 miles into my current tank and the blocks hasn't started dropping yet! The display says 3.7L/100km (around 63mpg). 1000km (624 miles) should be a piece of cake this time around. I'm taking my wife and kid to my dad's cottage this weekend. Depending on how that one goes, 700 miles might even be possible...

I love my Prius!!

I almost made my 600 miles! I could have done it, but decided to pull over for gas when my guage went down to a single bar (not blinking).

576.5 miles on one tank of gas, and I had only burned 10.21 gallons in an 11.9 gallon tank!

At my calculated rate of 56.46 MPG, I could have potentially driven to 633 miles, and still had more than a half-gallon left in my tank! My projected "out of gas" point would have been somewhere between 640 and 660 miles.

Holy gasbags, Batman! :o <inside Prius joke>

Told'ja I had a good tank going! :lol:

I can tell too but alas this tank is TANKING!!! It's been HOT and HUMID and I have been running around doing some city driving and the A/C is killing the mpg's. So at this point the reading is 52.7 so that translates to about 49 - 50 mpg. not bad but still not my usual. Kevin
