    Today in the Civic again. 64 deg F in Naperville and Elk Grove.
    36.7 miles ( drove 0.8 miles , then had to go back home to get phone )
    fcd = 51.2 x 1.021 = 52.3 MPG. The horrible wind I was fighting in the
    Prius yesterday helped me out today (the Prius still got over 60 on that trip).

    Yesterday went to work in the Camry
    83.6/5.6
    42.2/5.6

    I think one of my brakes will need looked at, I'll just wait until July when I go get my tires rotated unless it gets worse. Just a noise, doesn't seem to be affecting the brakes.

    Shame!

    A lot less than the 2.2 Diesel Honda FR-V 6 seater I used to own (with a 16% bigger tank!) which achieved 815.5 miles!

    My best so far has been 678.5 miles over 80 tanks.

    My best tank FE has been 52.56mpg last June.

    My best in the Prius over six years is 765 miles. But I never put more
    than 9.8-10.1 gallons in the car. I just let the pump click off on its
    own and call it a day.

    Today in the Prius. 59 deg F in Northbrook , 58 in Elk Grove.
    17.4 miles , fcd = 66.3 x .943 = 62.5 MPG.

    Took a short vacation on the coast end of April. 3 days/2 nights. fully loaded Crosstrek Hybrid with wife and me. big, fat tires :( but pumped to 41 psi, read 44 psi when hot, temperature in the 50s and rainy, no opportunity to charge on the road or at the destination

    going there with a stop at Eddie Bauer outlet store: 106 miles, 10/20 bars EV consumed, approximately 40.6 MPGe

    around the coastal town: 27 miles, 2 bars EV consumed, approximately 42.4 MPGe

    coming home: 98 miles, 5 bars EV consumed, approximately 35.6 MPGe (full car, uphill, headwind, high speed :D)

    overall about 38.5 MPGe accounting for electricity; FCD would have read 39.5 had I not reset during segments; 3 of 20 EV bars left when I got home; under 2 hours to fully recharge at 3.3 KW

    OOOOHHHH! I would love to drive both the i10 & Fit.....specially if I could put bigger diameter tires on them, just like I did for our Hyundai Accent.

    Today in the Prius. 48 deg F in both Naperville and Elk Grove.
    35.1 miles , fcd = 64.4 x .943 = 60.4 MPG.

    I ignored my occasional key battery warning several times , but today
    I needed to touch the key to the power switch to make the car turn on.
    When I got to work , I changed the battery. :)
