    just saying Hi to all.... got my Prius last month.

    Still won't go under 5 l/100km (US 47,04 MPG) but i guess i need to learn how to drive it? Or is that almost 62MPG just a sentence to sell...
    But i'm happy with it.... had car last time 14 years ago :)

    Kari, welcome to the forum. As you will learn form reading threads here, your driving style, terrain, and weather make all the difference as to how close you come to the estimated MPG ratings.

    The mileage estimates can be seen (and exceeded) but keep in mind that testing was done on nice 20C days.
