Fuel economy

[Drwalker02]

i averaged 21.9 over 1300 miles from VA to TX when i picked it up brand new. little stoppage, and crusing 75-80 most of the way. now i commute 40 miles to work, average 17.5 or so per tank, and when i drive spiritedly, 7.0mpg

It's all in the way you drive, the MPG goes accordingly

'driving with gusto' eh? I'll have to remember that phrase:

"Why no, officer; I didn't realize I was speeding. I just thought I was......."

Some call it "spirited" driving

>>> Some call it "spirited" driving <<<

Yes - hear that terminology on West coast.

i dunno. 'with gusto' sounds like something you can say with pride, like "hell yeh, i'm not some lazy deadbeat."

if you worry about MPG you probably aren't driving it right.:rockon:

Exactly! I don't care what it gets for fuel economy, let the Prius moonbats worry about such nonsense!
