52.9 MPG on the latest fill.
And that's the car's first complete fill of 2021. (Unfortunately, August was de-railed by a family emergency, so I haven't been using the car much.)

Thanks!
Yeah, the gearing is atrocious for MPG. Great fun for accelerating / shifting, though. It's almost criminal to skip shift this car.
Anyway, I'm already running larger than stock wheels/tires on the back to address gearing, but I'm on the lookout for an even slightly larger set. I have a couple of friends with Priuses - the ones with 195/65R15 Ecopias. When they're ready to replace them, I'll snag some used ones.
