I'm surprised you've never read the Prius Forum. Where real people
talk about their real cars. In the US, about 40 mpg is the norm for

74.4mpg - that was a pic of the Prius display which is US and a smaller
gallon.

Would you like a picture of my 3.5 litre V-8 trip computer showing 175 mpg?

I note that on one of the Pious owners forums a driver is whinging that
he can only achieve 42 mpg in his (Mark III) Pious. The advice from the
other forum members included "Drive for 5 minutes to get the car warmed
up and then reset the mpg button." These dopes are as moronic as Drivel.
