MPGs on the up - Is it summer yet?

[johalareewi]

During the nice warm and dry July, I did 625 miles in my gen3 prius on a single tank of petrol. :)

How many litres?

Slowly managing to build up my MPG in my Auris, without reaching 0 miles range, I have reached 470 on 35 litres of supermarket fuel. I know the brochure say's upto 750 miles, but it doesn't say if that includes the extra 10 litres when you reach 0 range.

Thanks, I'm hoping to get to 500 eventually

40¼ was my record on my Gen 3.  Apparently my Gen 4 holds 2 litres less!

What is the capacity of the tank?

Mine is stated 45 litres. Only managed to get 37 in.

43 litres is my record.  40 litres is usual for me.

Spend my life between NW Spain (Southern UK-type climate) and SE Spain (Mediterranean-type) - overall the year, there's probably a 5+ mpg difference

So that could be as much as 50 miles over the full tank, that's roughly what i noticed between winter and what passes for summer here
