    ... The Prius returned a disappointing average of 7.06 L/100 km in driving temperatures between minus 21 (Milton) and minus 13 (Radisson), but ran flawlessly. ...

    This equates to approx 33.32 miles per gallon.

    This trip in US figures

    1000 klicks=600 miles
    -21C=-7F
    -13C=+10F
    7.1Lper100K=39.7 Imp. gallon=32.1 US gallon.
