Two years for my little car


It was two years ago I got my little PriusC. I’ve gone just over 37,000
miles in it since then. (Just under 60,000 km.)
One of the reasons I got it was that it was the most fuel efficient car
sold two years ago that used gasoline.
And, it’s done fairly well with that.
Depending on how you measure it the results are:
Miles/gallon 49.29
Miles/British gallon 59.19
Km/liter 20.96
Liter/100 km 4.772
Miles per dollar of fuel 14.29
Km per dollar of fuel 23.0

It does not do as well in the winter as in the summer as the battery
doesn’t like the cold much. And, this was a cold winter.
But, even if the pattern is a bit cyclic, the over all is still pretty good.
And, I’m still very happy with it.

That's only 82.2 a day. And my round trip to work is 80.64. So weekends I just have to drive a bit more than my commute.
And there were those 2500 km trips to Kentucky and one 3900 km trip to Florida.
If adds up.
