Did I just "Train" my car or my foot?
Hey guys and gals of effeciency.
So I just took a trip from Irvine to Mammoth in my 2008 Prius. First really long trip so I wanted to see what I could get MPG wise. The way up was rough, only avered around 45mpg, lots of uphill. 339 miles there
On the way back down though I was rocking 60mpg most of the way and when I finally got home it had settled to 55mpg. Personal Best! 339 miles back
So here is the question. I'm currently at 50mpg doing my normal around town driving when I'm usually closer to 45mpg. Did the prius recalibrate itself somehow on the long trip or has my foot become tuned after achieving the great 55mpg.
Other things that may affect it. I recently got new tires so they may have warn in now. LLR Ecopia.
Its Been Warmer the past week.
My foot and mind are now truly at one after such a long journey.
