Gas Mileage this tank 37mpg

certainly the injector fluid seems suspect, maybe it will take some time to clear it all out. someone else mentioned bad gas at bp. is the oil at or below the full mark?

 

How much oil is showing on the dip stick, how many miles on the car.
Have you cleaned the MAF sensor and what are your tyre pressures, have you changed tyres.

I've found my Prius to be way too sensitive to a bad tank of gas... MPG plummets on the two rare occasions that's happened. I suspect overuse of Ethanol beyond 10% in both cases, but can't say for certain.

Consider this a great opportunity to take better care of your car!

Some more ideas: I once got really bad gas mileage when I was new to the car because I added a 1/2 quart of oil (to be safe) even though the car didn't need it.

Like our computers at home sometimes a good old fashion reboot of the computer makes a difference. As in unplug the 12volt battery for 10 minutes... Have you changed your air fllter yet? Also ow-20 synthetic oil helps a little bit? Over-inflate your tires... See if gas mileage improves without using air conditioner / get AC service if needed. Make sure tires rotate easily when car is jacked up. Replace 12 battery if less than 12.3 volt available when car is off or in acc/inspection mode.

Most of all learn the joy of getting your gas mileage up above 50mpg... Study up on pulse and glide in the city, pulse and stealth mode on the freeway, and just generally enjoy driving safer and slower, especially if no one impatient is following you!

Lots of other things to consider but this is a start!

 

well done!

 

Good to see a simple and fruit full outcome.
