Id expect the 65 figure to be a starting point, not an achievement.
I rented a prius 3 for sveral weeks. As, is, got 50 mpg. Drove it like a rental car, got 49.9. Added 50 psi to the tires and used enough brake to max out the rgen/braking meter when coming to a stop, BOOM, 65 on a tank.
Id check with Dax on the grill blocking. I think he said something the other day you need to monitor the inverted temp as its cooling system is on its own circuit and if it doesnt get enough airflow it can cause more use of gasoline if you trip is over 7 or 10 miles.
