Took a trip from Seaside to Astoria for the Sunday Market. There was 5 of us adults in the Prius. The Oregon State Truck Scale on Highway 101 Mile Post 15 read 3,950 lbs for the weight of our Prius. I was amazed with all the weight gas mileage did not suffer and the ride was comfortable with plenty of power. Also round trip from a cold start at Seaside was well over 50 MPG., Temp was 63 degrees dry roads and little to moderate variable wind. Gas, as always in Oregon, regular grade with 10% Ethanol required in Oregon all year long. I was impressed...... alfon
Very impressive! Did you drive in regular mode most of the trip? Did you need to use power mode to get you up the hills?
I just used nomal mode had plenty of power. 5 people with a vehicle getting over 50 mpg is over 250 mile/ passenger / gallon. alfon
