On this tank of gas, it says I have driven 540 miles with 14 miles left in the range.

Down to one notch on the gas thing, and it is still not blinking yet.

I went to fill up with gas and I did top off more than usual, but I did stop at 12.7 gallons.

We noticed a significant drop in gas mileage in our 2012 Prius V after driving the vehicle for about a year and a half. We purchased the Prius V brand new from the dealership. The car started out at 4.8 L/ 100 Km (we live in Canada so everything is L/100 Km.) The car was sold with the specifications of 4.5L/100 km so we thought 4.8L/100 km was pretty good. After about a year and a half...

It has new oil (Toyota 0-20), recent tires that are inflated at spec. Can her driving style really affect the mpg that much? Oh, > 48K on the odometer.

I noticed on Amazon prices for NGK spark plugs vary wildly, no idea if even half the ones are even legit and not knock-offs.

I saw one set of Denso ones Cost $57.00

I bought my 2014 Prius V new. For several years I got 42 MPG indicated running regular gas. Then a couple of years ago I took it to a new dealership for routine service.

They sold me a set of tires (mistake on my part) and changed the oil. Here's the twist. When I went into the dealership my trip meter indicated 200 miles driven and 42 MPG average since the last reset. When I got it back, it was indicating 201 miles driven...

We drove it for less than 15 minutes in a subdivision, I would say and it was 4C outside. That seems really high given we are buying the car for its mileage. Should we be concerned that there is something wrong with this vehicle?]]> 2
