6 month ownership update...
After driving 10,000 miles in my Prius I have some comparison figures vs. the 4runner I traded in to get the Prius. Over the past 6 months I have saved more than 250 gallons of fuel and more than $700. This has yielded an increase of more than 38mpg driving my Prius vs. driving my 4runner.
Due to a relocation to a new house and higher than normal driving I am not pleased with driving 10,000 miles in the past 6 months but about 2500 miles were unplanned trips due to unavoidable driving. I am normally in the 15,000 mile range and I am planning to curb my driving over the next 6 months as much as possible.
To prepare for the upcoming winter months I will be reinstalling my lower grill block as temps are now in the 45-65 degree range from morning to evening. I have my EBH installed and am currently running 50 psi tires. My goal for the winter months (November - February) are to achieve a minimum of 57 mpg for every tank.
