62 mpg tank in my revived 2003 Prius

[orange4boy]

A few aero and mechanical mods, a bit of learning and little help from my friends.

62 mpg 420 miles, 6.77 gallons and $25.
That's 3.8 L/100Km for my fellow Canadians.
51% over EPA for this tank.

Load: 2 passengers, 1 22lb Jack Russel, 2 60lb deep cycle batteries and misc. luggage.

Thanks and big love to all you helpful Ecomodders. You know who you are.

Techniques:
