22 kmpl seems to be ok for the highway. i had 24 kmpl from Colombo to Matara. For the city, normally I get 15-17 kmpl depending on the Colombo traffic. mine is 2012/07 s touring and I use 95 octane all the time.

Holy! Easy on the caps lock Kalum123! (Please try typing with the caps lock off next time. Its much easier for everyone else to read that way...)

I'm kinda shocked at the number's listed, 12kmpl seems kinda low for a Prius in the city. Wouldn't a decent diesel would get around the same numbers?

[Rumesh88]

Are the figures quoted displayed value or actual consumption values? When you run in the city does the car run on battery instead of the engine most of the time or is it other way round?

[kush]

Could be an issue with the battery (not properly charging)

T****A L***A can do a proper diagnostic

city limit fuel economy seems low. One of my friend said his prius does around 17-18 in city.

btw, what's that site ? is it fuel economy tracking site ?

One of my friends said his gf looks like Mila Kunis's twin sister. Just ignore what your friends say.

Secondly, stop being dependant on the internet for every damn little thing in your life. Pump full tank of fuel, write down the mileage on the back of a cigarette box or something (pllleaaaaaaaaaaaase not the Internet!) run for about 100km, then top up the tank again, preferably from the same shed at the same time of the day. Then post the results.

BTW you are just running about 500km a month..... If I were you, I would just use meter taxies for my travel, considering the wear, tear, service costs, lease instalments and all that...
