Cold, wet, and windy describes the weather here too. However, my biggest challenge has been accidents. I've been stuck in bad traffic jams due to accidents nearly every day for two weeks. My average speed is down from 30-35mph to 24mph.

Last fill of 2012 in the U.F.O: 95.3 MPG (US). Best so far.

What an amazing machine. Needs a boat tail.

Thanks. Well, if you get one, do a few mods and drive mostly secondary roads at ~80 km/h, you too can have 95 mpg.

Hey guys and gals!

Just picked up a 2nd gen Prius, today. So if anyone in the Chicagoland area is looking for a 96 Civic EX that needs some work, but still gets 50+ hypermilin' send me a PM. I'll post another message in the For Sale section soon, but I wanted to give the Honda team first dibs. I'll post it sometime in the coming week and link to it from here, but if you want details before then, PM me.

Also good job on the U.F.O @MetroMPG, those are the numbers I am looking for

BTW how hell do I change my screen name ...

-Dave

Wow - Prius, eh?

Send me a PM with your new username and I'll change it. (Don't choose 2ndGenPrius or we'll have to go through this again when you get your NEXT car )

Just filled for 66 mpg. I'm still the top non-insight.

Lower than previous, thanks to cooler weather, more driving with family on board, and more "I just wanna drive" moments. I'm talking about crazy stuff like revving up to 3000 rpm!
