In preparation for the wife taking over the prius I took off my motorcycle mirrors and put back the original stock ones. I then had a 200km drive about 3/4 at 95-105km/hr and the other at 75-85. MFD was showing 4.8l/100km at the start of the trip, after the road trip and about 50km more of city driving still 4.8.

Last tank I had also taken off the lower lip after reading a lot of prius posts saying the underside had a lot of aero work done and the increase cda might hurt more than decreasing the air under. That same tank was also a 4.8 tank which had been my average all winter.
