I am planning on getting a new 2006 Prius.
I would like to hear from others who own a 2006 and see exactly what your gas mileage is in the city and the highway. Please indicate if you use the AC and driving habits etc.
I am looking for people whom have did the math rather then just how many miles to the fillup.
Start with a full tank. Drive and write down miles driven. Fillup with fuel. Take miles driven and divide by the number of gallons used to fillup the car.
I know that everyone knows how to do this, but the reason I specify this method is because I want an accurate reading.
The window sticker says 60 in the city and 51 on the highway. I have a hard time believing this to be real world mileage as I have never gotten EPA sticker mileage on any car I have ever owned. So before I take the plunge and buy this car verses another to save fuel, I want to know what I'm getting into.
Thanks so much and any other information you find may be useful to me, please post or E-mail directly to me.
