Prius C Fuel :: Getting Average Of 35 Mpg In City?
I deliver mail out of my 2014 Prius C and noticed that my MPG is only about 30-35 MPG? What am I doing wrong?! I thought stop and go driving is the best way to get the best MPG?

View 19 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) Fuel :: Daily Commute Is Below Average
I'm relatively new with my 2011 Prius. I've been averaging about 53.6 mpg, but I feel as if I can do better. I've set 54 mpg as this "magic number" that I'm aspiring to, but if I ever reach that, the number will probably rise to 55 and so on ... (As an aside, if I just set the cruise control while on the commute I'm about to describe, I get the same mileage as I do when I'm working on hypermiling, so I don't know if it's worth the effort with this route).
My daily commute is around 15 miles. About half of this is a hilly and curvy road. The PSL on that portion is 55 mph, and it is a two-lane (one lane in each direction) road. At least one of the hills are so steep that if I DWL, I'll lose between 15 to 20 mph from the bottom to the top; that's with the HSI "pegged" right before the power section of the line. I can maintain speed, or at least lose less, if I go into the power area. Additionally, there are several curves at the bottom of the hills where I must brake down to around 40 mph to safely negotiate the curve.
Finally, it is well-trafficked road as well, so, while observing the speed limit, I may have 10 cars piled up behind me, which makes me nervous.
Prius C Fuel :: Below Average Mileage During City Drive
I'm so fed up with this Prius C. I did nothing but city driving and I got 302 for a tank at 8.247. It's going to the dealership to see if something is wrong. I haven't got over 369 on a tank before and that was highway driving.

I have been realizing that random every so often miles or months (varies completely) that my average fuel consumption resets itself and starts retaking brand new information and has discarded the old. Is this normal?

A couple weeks ago, the "average fuel economy" display on my 350 F-Sport disappeared - when I'm looking through the different displays, it skips straight from "average speed" to "current fuel consumption". All the other displays are still there, so I'm not sure what caused this. I'm wondering if I'll have to bring it in to the dealership.
Some info about the car: It's a 2014 IS 350 F-Sport with ~6000 miles, and it just had its first service a few weeks ago (shortly before this problem started).
Prius (Gen 3) :: Can't Find Average MPG Display
I can't find the average mpg display anywhere. On my 2008 I could hit the info button and it would display your average mpg but on my 2013 Prius 3 there is no reading for that, at least I can't find it.
In the owners manual there is a pic of one of the display's that has it in there, but I can't seem to find that display anywhere.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Purpose Of MPH Average Display?
That MPH average at the bottom right of the screen. Is that actually show the average miles per hour that you have driven? Mine is currently displaying 24. I never drive that slowly, much less often enough to average out my usual 55-70 driving. What is the purpose of that display?

I have a new 2015 Prius five and can't figure out how to determine average mpg. In my 2007 model, there was an info screen that displayed average mpg that was reset each time you refilled the tank. With the new Prius this screen is gone and all I can find is a display showing average mpg for the last 5 minutes.
View 10 RepliesPrius C :: Resetting Average MPG Per Tank
Average MPG per tank is automatically reset anytime you fill up with more than about 4 gallons. But the owner's manual PDF I've been reading for the C seems to indicate that this is manually done by resetting one of the tripmeters. What is actually the correct method?
View 2 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) Fuel :: 2013 - Cannot Get More Than 43 - 44 Mpg
I have a new 2013 prius 4 that now has 5400 miles.
I changed oil at 1200 miles and had the dealer put in 4 qts. I am running 40psi in front and 38psi in rear tires. I am unable to get more than 43-44 mpg on the display no matter what type of driving I do. The dealer tells me there is nothing wrong with the car and the problems lie with the gasoline and the amount of ethanol that is added.
I traded in a 2010 Prius with 55000 miles and was getting 47-48mpg on the display and actual 44-45 mpg doing the math.
Prius (Gen 2) :: Cannot Reset Average MPGs On Consumption Display
I have a "new to me" 2009 Touring that I purchased on 9/2/10. She had approximately 35K miles on her and an Average MPG of 39.6. While I have managed to increase that average up to 41.7, I'm tired of looking at the results of the previous owner's bad habits.
I have hit the Reset button on the Consumption screen several times, but the only thing resetting is the number of miles driven. I have reset both the Trip A and Trip B Odometers, again the only change is the trip odometer reading, NOT the Average MPGs.
This is making me a little crazy as my previous car was a 2004 Prius and the Average MPGs AND miles driven automatically reset any time I filled up with fuel.

Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Expected Average Miles Between Fill Ups?
On average, how many miles do you average between fill ups. I understand that this is all dependent on everyone's respective commutes, road conditions, ability to charge at work, etc., but i'm interested to know what you all do on average.
I'm still on my first tank and have 905 miles with one bar left on my tank.
Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Display Average MPG For Current Tank Of Gas?
I just upgraded from a 2004 Prius Six to a 2012 Plug in Advanced. My wife used to love watching the average mpg for the current tank of gas as she drove, and wants to know where to find that display on the new car. For some reason, I just can't find it and couldn't find any reference to it in the FAQ. Am I missing something simple? That number was her favorite incentive.

View 6 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) Fuel :: 2013 - Does The Car Always Warm Up After Each Start Up?
Well I bought my Prius 2013 II about a month ago so I have been learning alot about the car as I go and reading how to effectively get the best mileage from the car. I have only filled it up once so far but one thing I am trying to figure out is the mileage at start up. I have read that you get the worst mileage when you first start up the car after a nice period of no driver which I understand. They say 5-10 minutes of driving and it should be fine.
But my thing is it seems like every time I start my car up it goes through the whole slow mpg start up. Is that normal? Let me give you a example. I had to drive from work to a movie theater which was about 9 miles and I averaged around 68 mpg. Yes right when I started my car after a 8 hour shift the bars on dashboard next to the MPG were going up and down and would stay around 25-30 mpg for the first few minutes but would eventually go back to 99.9 when i was coasting.
Well anyways I drive to the movie theater just to get out and get a gift card for fathers day. So I am only gone for maybe 3 minutes. I get back into my car and start it up and my fuel consumption plummets to 20-30 mpg for a few minutes before it goes back into warm up mode. I was told your car should only do that your initial warm up after it hasnt been started but it seems like when I do many errands and I have to turn my car off for whatever reason. My gas plummets until I get the ball rolling again. IS this normal?
Prius V Fuel :: 2013 - Hitting Plateau At 51 Mpg
I have a 2013 Prius V 2 which I love. From the very first tank I've managed to exceed 50 mpg on average (one fill-up was 49) and usually these days I get 51 or 52 mpg. Not too shabby for a car rated at 42-44, and with pretty much constant use of AC and daytime headlights. Overall, I am very pleased.
I would love to get it up to 55 mpg, but it seems impossible. Sometimes the display actually reads 55 for a while, but then I hit a few hills and lights and it gets dragged back down again. Truth to tell, my wife doesn't hyper-mile, so that hurts a bit, but to my surprise sometimes she comes home and the mpg is actually higher than I last left it at!
I do the pulse-and-glide and I am constantly backing off the accelerator to stay in EV mode. Any other tips for breaking through the plateau?
Prius C Fuel :: 2013 - How To Pulse And Glide - Speed Of Car Without Arrows?
I own a Prius C 2013. I read about Pulse and Glide, and I also watched youtube about it. I somehow have never seen a situation where there is no arrow in the Energy Monitor. The best I have ever seen is arrow coming out of the battery only which is EV mode. Some people say 35-45 is the best speed for P&G, but I never see "no arrow". What speed makes the car run without arrow?
