Prius MPG
So... about a month ago I bought my wife a used Prius...315,000 miles and she's been averaging 50mpg... and climbing as I've gave her a few tips to do better... she's not doing what I call major hyper-miling... but driving somewhat efficient. I'm curious why the top 10 list doesn't have more Prius's... or at least higher mpg's than what's logged. I can't believe my wife is more efficient than most of these logging their mileage...??? oh.. and the gas we've been putting in the car is really close in calculation on fuel economy.
BTW.. no mods to the car yet, but I will be installing a grill block and more panels underneath the engine bay along with insulation to help retain the heat as much as possible without causing the engine fan to run. I don't want to lose too much MPG in colder temps.
Any ideas why not really any higher mpg's with the Prius shown on the top 10 or so list?
I'm pretty sure I could get 60mpg driving my wife's car and not drive like a granny...
