Check this out!



It's hard to take pictures inside of a car, at dusk, with no flash, and at a distance that won't make everything all blurry. Anyway, this isn't the best piece of photographic work...but the point comes across pretty good still. I filled the Prius up with gas for the big trip in the morning and wanted to show the MPG before I reset it. 55.2 MPG over 361 miles is what that picture says. Normally Bridget will go over 500 miles on a tank of gas...maybe 520 miles per tank she says. So the 361 on this tank wasn't a full tank but was probably close to 2/3 of a tank...again I ain't no math wiz (Bridget has already banned me from teaching the kids anything more than addition and subtraction, probably a wise choice since I got an F in 4th grade math...darn long division!).

That is awesome, but I don't trust the computer. But even if it is off by a couple MPG, that is very cool. Our computer is usually low by 2 or 3 mpg. How about yours?

Ours is a little high as well, I wonder why that it...such a sophisticated car and the MPG calculator program isn't accurate??
