Hi all, I'm a happy new member of 1000 mile club in Japan. 1,016.6 miles (1,635 km), 80.7 mpg (34.3 km/L) on MFD. There are 56 members as of May 7th, 2007 and total 208 occurrences recorded. http://prius.2-d.jp/ippiki/detail.php?mid=5&mver=57 http://prius.2-d.jp/ippiki/detail.php?mid=14&mver=0 Ken@Japan [attachmentid=7914]
Ken - Make sure and remind us that your gas tank is different than the NA one. BTW - Congrats on making it into that club!
Thank you for your comment, You're right that we don't have a bladder. Why don't you make an 80 mpg club in NA. Ken@Japan

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ken1784 @ May 8 2007, 02:13 AM) [snapback]437357[/snapback]</div> Congratulations! Achieving 1,000 miles on a single tank makes a lot of sense. It is an achievable performance goal that requires attention to detail and careful driving. Our 11 gallon tank only requires an average fuel consumption a little over 90 MPG. However, I noticed the cars listed appear to be NHW20s and one Insight, right? Are there any NHW11 or NHW10 models in the club? I take it use of block heaters are OK? Other than not using a tow truck, are there any other rules? Bob Wilson
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bwilson4web @ May 9 2007, 05:29 AM) [snapback]437777[/snapback]</div> WOW! I think there is one NHW11 [No. 45, 1821.9km, 11型S(MC29)]
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ May 9 2007, 10:23 AM) [snapback]437975[/snapback]</div> Actually, he already exceeded the 30.0km/L (70.6MPG) for his Model G Touring. 35.5km/L is for Model S. Japan 10-15 mode
Wow, missed this thread at first. That's just amazing....I'd love to just sit in the passenger seat and watch a trip or two from you, Ken, or anyone who can do that. I'm drooling at a chance for a 700mile tank...but I'd only be 2/3rds the way there if I can even make that happen.
Thank you everybody for your warm words, Yes, we have one NHW-11 driver and one Honda Insight driver. My model is "G Touring" rated as 30.0 km/L, however I replaced the 16 inch Michelin tires with 15 inch Goodyear GT3 which is standard among S and G model. So, mine is now G equivalent, then the data still exceeded the 33.0km/L (77.6 MPG) Japanese 10-15 test number. Ken@Japan
