My sister drives an Insight, I have driven it in varios ways and only way that I did get over 20 kmpl was by driving it like there was a kid on my roof... I can prove this to you... but like i said it might be a problem in the car, that I don't know off... but those were the figures that I got..

And your point is??????

Your's must be a Honda. That's why it has done more in long distance.

Any way FYI my prius does average 23km/l in the city and 21-22km/l outstations.

Come again? You mean you get less efficiency on outstation running?

Yes exactly. Prius is more fuel efficient in city running than in outstations. Thats why it's popular as a city car all over the world.

35-40km/l is unusually high for the Prius average fuel economy. I assume you are quoting the real time "Current km/l" display which can momentarily hit very high numbers and not the "Average km/l" display?

Is your prius a uk import? then it has to be 40mpg, and not 40km/l. Honestly what was your average speed during this test?

I wondered whether his car was a UK car too and the display was showing mpg, but then his 20km/l city number sounds right.

If he was hypermiling, an average as high as 50+km/l is achievable in the Prius, but difficult in local conditions.

How fast were you going dude?
