    I have a 2011 Prius and I'm only getting 38mpg at the moment and I'm quite annoyed. See my post in the troubleshooting forum if you'd like and feel free to chime in.

    230,xxx miles on this bad boy and want to keep it going.

    Thanks all.

    Sincerely,

    Frank

    Do the following:
    1. Clean your maf sensor
    2. Do a bottle of redline fuel treatment
    3. Do the reset on this video
    4. Enjoy your mpgs again.

    That's what I'm getting on my 2011 Prius as well.
