Impressed!!I dont need a prius!
So after $45 can only fill up 3/4 tank of gas, I decided to drive like a grandma.
And I got THIS!
After 14 miles
After 110 miles!
I am very impressed by the MPG! NICE!

It's most likely driven at on flat at near or at freeways speeds to achieve this.
That's still good for a 250 because for me, I've gotten similar or higher depnding on where I'm going. Most of the time I get at least 24-26 avg and going about 400 miles on a tank before refill, this is with mixed driving.

Well there was that one thread where someone pushed close to a 1000 miles on their Prius before refill!

Holy ****.
No offense to anyone in this thread... especially you OP...
But the "MPG" gauge on your instrument cluster is the ****TIEST way in life to know your MPG's...
One time on a road trip to Arkansas, I filled up, Reset to 0.. went 70mph cruise control on for over 5 hours... it shows 36mpg...
I stopped by a gas station and filled up back to full and divided my miles driven since last fill up by the gallons of gas used and it showed 25mpg... the "amazing" instrument cluster mpg gizmo way 11mpg off... and yes, that was reading the one that says "tank average"...
That gizmo is a THEORETICAL calculation...
the vehicles ECM looks at numerous variables such as but not limited to the amount of fuel left in the tank, engine rpm, engine load (load is determined by the MAF, and the amount of air passing through it as well as Throttle position) and im sure HUNDREDS of other factors...
It just uses these factors and determines what your "MPG" is and displays it on the instrument cluster...
It is WAY off.. on every SINGLE CAR I have EVER driven...
If you ever go by that thing your a TOTAL moron.
Good luck.
