Default Happy Thanksgiving

I purchased my Prius October 30 of this year and have been captivated by the technology in this little car. My first tank I was able to average 48 mpg. My second tank did not fair so well around 44 mpg. After seeing my milage go down I have spent hours reading everything I could find here and putting it into practice behind the wheel. So, my third tank at 100 miles I was averaging 60 mpg and I was happy! Then mother nature decided to cool things off down here in Alabama and I am watching helplessly as my milage takes a downward spiral. I am setting at 55 mpg and going down. Oh well, the 60 mpg tank may have to wait until spring.
