Hello Prius owners. We purchased a 2011 Prius ll one month ago. Great car!! We are averaging 53.4 mpg for the first 2200 miles. Per hand calc. It is a whole new driving experience.
Not going make many friends with a thread title like that. Just kidding. Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride.
Congrats on your new Prius and welcome to PriusChat :welcome: Enjoy the high MPGs, technology, and low-emissions. Cruise the forum threads for great tips, ideas and chat.
Our Canadian Touring package comes with the lower/wider 17" rims. They look cool, but have some impact on mileage I'm sure: with Trip A reset we went for an extended drive to downtown last night, basically ideal driving conditions: maybe 70% freeway, but with speed limits reduced due to construction. There was no congestion, and I tried to maximize mileage: abiding by limits, anticipating, slipping into EV when possible, and I just managed to match your overall 53.4 mpg*. Not bad! We've had ours for just over 5 months now. (* in-dash was saying 4.1 liters/100km, which from past experience translates to around 4.4 calc'd, which converts to 53.46 mpg)
