What is the real world Prius highway MPG from your experience? It
should be higher than 45, right? I was able to get 44MPG with Camry
when the traffic was low in the night. My car is getting old and I'm
considering Prius. what is the real-world fuel efficiency from your
experience?

THANKS

I averaged 52 over the 40,000 miles I drove my 2005 by paying attention to
how I drove. So far my 2010 is averaging 53.8 without even trying to
maximize mileage. In the 2010 I use the ECO mode, switching to the
PERFORMANCE mode when passing. Don't compare my figures with what you were
able to achieve under any particular set of conditions. In my 2005 I once
achieved three consecutive 75 mpg bars and in the 2010 I've had three
consecutive 100 mpg bars. You want to compare your overall mileage figures
with the overall mileage figures I've achieved.

I don't drive below the speed limit but instead choose economical routes.
