Aug 7 2015

Lowest ever MPG for the Prius. Possibly because of a very full tank on this fill up or because I have reverted to using 10% ethanol crap due to the much higher cost on non-ethanol.

Returned to 100% gasoline, NON-ETHANOL since the local station dropped the price by 30 cents/gal. The non-ethanol is once again 20 cents above the 10% junk. Normal driving, mixed city highway in hot weather.

90% Highway driving from OBX - FRR warm to hot weather. Now running 10% ethanol fuel due to the 50 cents/gal. difference between that and non-ethanol. Holtzman just increased their per gal price by 30 cents. Can no longer substantiate the higher price for a 5% increase in MPG. This tank nets me 53.9 MPG using mostly ethanol blend fuel.

moderate to cold weather with mostly short trips with some highway miles.little to no Interstate driving. MPG continues to fall steadily Since early November.

Dec 8 2014

large number of short trips in moderate to cold weather. 30 or less Interstate miles. 40% or less highway miles. MPG has its first "Winter" nosedive. Colder weather plays havoc with my yearly average. Fuel prices continue to fall, making driving less expensive at a time when MPG is typically at its worst.
