    I bought a 2010 Prius in Feb and love it so much. Im going to sound really like a airhead but Ive just been so busy that I never really took time to understand the dashboard. I have no clue if Im doing good or not with mileage. I have a leaking tire thats messing with the fuel economy some and having that fixed tomorrow but besides that. How do I understand if Im doing well. Thanks for any input.:D

    Look at the miles per gallon screen... The more miles you go on one gallon, the better. So higher bars = better.

    Try not to leave Eco mode.. And the bars to tHe right of the speedometer tell u how many mpg u r getting real time.. Keep that over 50 as much as you can!
