I’m talking about steady state mpg with cruise control. Lots of other factors over the course of a 700 mile tank affect the mpg. Like cold starts. City driving. Accelerating. Flooring it to pass someone. Running heating or ac systems wind direction. Temperature changed and so on.
Whole tank averages show the efficiency of the engine itself. Not the aerodynamics
Which I also learned that Hyundai engines suck for cold starts and short trips versus Toyota, which the Prius uses a special coolant warming system to help mpg with city driving and getting cabin heat
