Weird Flex (how low can you go?)

Dang some of you are getting insane MPGs. Good to know the tank will run that long when the light flicks on though.

I usually fill mine up with a bar left and it's usually $35 or so. But I'm gassing up about once a week so I feel like I live at the gas station.

Just hit 6k miles and I'm averaging 16.8MPG so uh...yeah. Not a lot of highway mostly stop and go daily driving.

i have a lot of 55mph-70mph highway commuting. perfect prius territory. ITS is just too much fun for the small part of my commute that is fun. may just get another ITS ... hmmmm just like people with bourbon, wine, etc ... a bottle to drink and a bottle to save for when you can't get it anymore haha.

Here's my car's indicated fuel mileage numbers. I don't drive it easy, nor ridiculously hard. My daily commute is 17-22 miles each way, depending on which way I go.

Wow. I'm in the 21-22 average but I only take the ITS twice a week to work and it's only 14 miles away.

On the weekends, I take the car out for fun so I'm definitely not easy on the gas then either. Kinda cool to see what kind of mileage this car is capable of though.

I gotta admit, those new priuses look damn good. If I had a long commute I'd definitely consider it.

the fuel bars are not accurate as a needle. i actually gained 1 mpg after installing a k&n intake. I'm averaging 43 now on the aspec.

Toyota is really turning the corner from boring beige with their new line up, and the new Prius is definitely a looker, but I still couldn't get over the stigma of it.

I'd do a Civic Hybrid in a heartbeat instead.

I wasn't going to say anything yet, but I swapped my air filter in the its with an afe dry filter (I just like being able to wash it, expected nothing else) and have been testing it. Oddly, the car no longer feels like it's being suffocated above 6200 rpm and my avg mpg has climbed by 1-2mpg. I'm still giving it longer (and tracking it Saturday) to get a better feel for placebo vs reality, but this would be the first time in a car made in the last two decades where I feel a change due to some change in the intake path. I was shocked I felt anything, but the factory filter was also more dirty than expected, so maybe it just needs to be a 5k mi rotation item...?

I do know the factory intake design is not great going over the turbo and soaks up heat like mad, so anything to help prevent heat transfer there is going to help both power and mpg due to lower operating iat. A filter doesn't change that though...

Wow you guys and your hypermiling. The best I have seen in the last few months is 21mpg. When I switch back to an E mix it will be in the 15-17 range.

Just find a hill, got to neutral, and gently hold the brake. Watch the mpg climb

Yeah, this is about what I get, too, and I'm just over 4K miles. I drive almost exclusively in the city without any highway stretches at all. The truth is that I don't mind that much as it makes driving to and from work my favorite parts of the day.

I have a k&n intake not a drop in filter. I didnt notice any gains with a k&n drop in. I wanted to hear the turbo more which is why i got the k&n.
