644 miles on my last tank!
I have had my Prius since early May. I keep learning how to get better economy out of it and I just got 644 miles on a tank, 10.5 gallons , 61 MPG. This car is so fun to own!!

That's awesome! What are some details of the type/conditions of driving? I'm sure the warmer temps of FL helps alot as well as the relative flat of the state?
Keep it up and spread the hybrid goodness.

Re: 644 miles on my last tank!
I only did the commute to work on this tank, about 20 miles each way, half at 55-60 MPH, half at 35-45 miles per hour. Some small hills but mostly flat and about 92-94 F. Learning to accelerate without the charge arrow going to the battery for P&G and using the electric motor only when the battery is more than half charged was my biggest improvement. Got 65 MPG indicated on the way to work this morning.
