Not sure if this was already covered in the thread but I have two eboosts and they don't like ethanol blended gasoline, e10 will instantly drop my mileage by 20%

Come on out here to the Peoples Republic of California... not only will we put ethanol in everything... we'll oxeginate it for you... It's a liberal, grass eater conspiracy to get everyone driving a Prius! We have lots of both of these things out here... actually... look at the polls, they are the majority in this wonderful state!

It will do it, but you have to drive 55.

I've seen 28.

My lifetime average is 10.9 with my EB, but I understand why.

All my driving is all short under 5 mile trips.

Todays engines, regardless of who they are from, get terrible fuel economy when cold.

Same thing with mine. Started at 13 now at 17 and going up, it's normal. Just drive it

Several things...and be completely honest. What was the wind like? Did you even pay attention? Even a slight 5 mph wind will affect the mileage...especially at higher speeds. What was the temperature? Humidity? Precipitation? All of these affect mileage.

These trucks...notably with 3.73's do not like higher than 75 mph. In fact I think to have a chance at 20 mpg I need to stay at upper 60's mph or lower. Upper 70's to 80 mph and I get 14-17 mpg depending on temp, wind, etc.

These trucks do break in some...you really gonna judge the mileage after 800 miles?

Yes, these trucks do turn 2000 rpm at upper 70's mph with 3.73 gears...point?

These trucks have the potential of returning good numbers. I have seen 24 mpg at 57 mph prolonged trip, 22 mpg at about 62 mph prolonged trip. 65 mph is about top speed for ok mileage.

I'm just sick of people coming on here and saying they're mpg sucks...with no mention of what the weather conditions were like, etc. I pay attention to all of this stuff. And even with my trucks misfire/condensation issues I still get better mpgs than all these people? I so wish I could drive half of these peoples trucks and see what happens. I don't doubt that some could potentially have major issues...but so many?

One could also say it's a oil cartels way of selling more of their product without having to sell as much actual gasoline, but they can charge you more for it. And no one wants anyone driving a Prius unless they already own one and want people to share in their misery. The Prius is a gateway drug to blandness and vegetarianism.
