Day Two consisted of commutes in the slow lane of traffic during the hours of 9am and 630pm average speed was about 60 mph. There were instances of stop and go traffic, so it was a pretty typical commute down 101. My average MPG according to the Prius' computer was 55mpg. I also made a trip to the grocery store and loaded up with food, the trunk space seems about comparable to my Celica. The Prius features fold-down seats to make extra space if necessary.
Day Three will consist of commutes in the fast lane of traffic during my normal commuting hours of 9:30am and 7:00pm. The average speed in these lanes routinely is at least 10 mph over the limit if not more.
Morning Commute: 49mpg
with an average speed of 75mph.
Evening Commute:
