My Best Milage ever
I decided to try to get a good run on my commute home on Friday. Hit all the lights right and good traffic flow for pulsing and gliding. Here are the results

Wow, nice numbers. I love the Prius's consumption display, had to look at pic again for proper name, being as I'm running Honda technology's smaller info package.

Re: My Best Milage ever
Thought these hybrid cars would do better than that?
I normally get between 65 to 70 mpg out of my car (VW Passat 1.9tdi) on my 16 mile journey to work (both ways). The most I've ever got on a long journey is 76 mpg, but then I do have a light right foot and am constantly observing the conditions ahead.

Yes, your TDi is a divine gift to a gas-thirsty world in desperate need to clean up its act.
On the other hand, we'll bee watching VW and the others to see how they will be cleaning up their emmissions for 2007 (and beyond). Until then, the empirical veridict on today's Diesel's will likely remain in effect.
