The funny part, 7 isn't that good for a Prius! I know it's possible to get less than 6 without really trying, and 5.14L/100Km with limited experience in hybrids and some EcoDriving experience.
You're doing your part, and that's what matters.

RH77,
You are right. 7.0 is fairly poor for that particular car. My niece has a Honda hybrid and averages around 5.0 living close in to the city and she doesn't drive intentionally to achieve great economy.
I have the feeling the low reading was as a result of a long freeway drive at fairly high speeds which is probably the worst set of conditions for a hybrid.
Cheers , Pete.
