After 2500 miles:
Me: 50 to 55 mpg
My wife: 40 to 42 mpg
I drive with Prius style.
She drives with Corolla style.
Conclusion:
The Toyota Prius to acomplish the sticker mpg needs a very exclusive driving style. Prius style.
Prius driving style has been discussed extensively in this forum. Some participants called fun but others distracting.
Prius driving style plus other things (temperature, thermos, tire preasure, enigne oil, exterior accessories, heating and A/C usages, etc.) will make fluctuate the mpg.
Getting 60 mpg is possible when you reset the comsumption at certain driving time (to make yourself feel better) or a certain conditions that I believe never existed on roads but only in a very special laboratory with the real perfect conditions that are impossible to have in the real world.
We have to live with that and that it is until an upgrade is available for the batteries, engines or powertrain.
