I remember that on some other thread Why? mentioned that to get the maximum efficiency from driving a Prius requires an entirely different driving style than most Americans are used to. I thought about this comment many times while I was watching the video you provided the link to. I think the reviewer's suggestions re driving style would definitely help re MPG. I also seem to remember that someone posted the Prius C sales figures (up to the point of the post) to a Yarisworld thread and that the figures showed the Prius C was 'getting off to a very fast start' in the U.S. market. You're right, the reviewer didn't use any 55+ MPH limit roads. I wonder how much his MPG would have dropped if he had included such a road and had stayed in the slow lane? He got a bit over 70 MPG (70.2 or 70.4, I can't remember which) on the route he drove for the video. |

Looks like he might have updated it . Now claims 52.75 at interstate / highway speeds and 57.8 combined . Here's the revamped review , http://www.mpgomatic.com/2012/07/05/...rius-c-review/ . Some reason the 2013 Scion FR-S pops up at the original address posted above . Why ? .
