GBA's 2017 PriusPrime (and trip report)

[GreatBigAbyss]

Fuel economy update:  The last time I filled was March 18th, at $35.87L for $57.  Calculated fuel economy on that fill was 4.1L/100km, mostly due to the cold weather we had in early march, forcing the ICE to turn on to heat the cabin and defrost the windshield on the morning commute.  That tank lasted me 28 days from the previous fill, and 1021kms. 

Things have been different since then.  That fill was 3 weeks ago, and I've since done 642.6km.  The weather has been warmer, resulting in much less ICE usage (almost none, I think it's turned on once during the morning commute).  I've done a couple of slightly longer trips where the ICE has turned on.  I think this picture says a lot (trip B gets reset each time I fill):

Look how much gas is left in the tank, lol!!!

Bike season is almost upon us, so I can see myself doing some longer day trips out to provincial parks, which will force ICE usage.  My daughter and I will also do some camping trips, which will, again, use up more gas in the tank, so I doubt I'll get to the 4000km best tank that Ron managed to get with this car.  I do about 1000km/month, so it would take me 4 months to best his record, and I just can't see myself NOT using this car to do longer out of town trips.

Really good result!!

I think at some point you'll better my best....
