I actually own a 2023 Prius XLE fwd and I often drive between SD and LA, which is ~110 miles one way. From SD to LA, I average ~52 mpg and from LA to SD, I average ~50 mpg. I also drive between 70-80 mph during the evening. I currently have ~6000 miles on my odometer and have a total average of 50.3 mpg.
The way back probably has more downhills, I found going to work on a highway with avg 45-50 mpg, and going back through city which seems to have a lot of downhills that helps to stay in that ev mode, it gets me to these 70-75 mpg easy (30miles way) every gas stop I'm avg 52-54 doing so, 2023 xle
Where we live the top highway speed allowed is 100kph (62.5mph). A speeding ticket will set you back hundreds of dollars. At 105kph our 2024 Prime (SE), delivers 60+mpg over very hilly roads. Driving at 70-80mph here in the daytime is almost suicidal, let alone at night because of the huge moose population. There are so many moose here that our government advises not to travel at night. Seriously. With the extreme slope of the front of this car, a moose encounter will be deadly. Trust me, it's not like striking a deer, even a small moose will literally tear the roof off your car and if that happens your dead.
Last weekend I took my 2023 Prius Prime XSE Premium on a road trip from the LA area to Tucson AZ. I went out I-10 and came back on I-8. During the trip out I had the cruise control set at 90 mph, and on the way back it was set at 77 mph. All driving was done in Eco mode, freeway driving and about town was in HV mode, battery was only for parking lots. I calculated my milage by miles covered divided my gallons to fill up. I did not charge the battery while on the trip. There was some driving around in Tucson, but not a lot. I am tossing the results on the first fill-up because that was polluted by some city battery-powered driving at home prior to the trip. First tank, @90 mph, 271 niles and 7.89 gallons is 34,35 mpg. Second tank, @77 mph, 251 miles, 6.4 gallons, 39.39 mpg. Third tank, @77 mph back to home, 242 miles, 5.914 gallons, 40.92 mpg. Dropping the speed REALLY helped the mpg, as expected. The car consistently does 1 mph less than the cruise control setting. The mpg at the lower speed is better than the best-case rating for my old 2008 Corolla, but the Prius has WAY more zip. With cruise control and lane keeping on a relatively empty freeway the car is almost self-driving as long as you lightly grip the wheel (I would not want to take my hand off the wheel anyway.) At one point, after filling the tank, I exited the station and entered the freeway on battery, and while acceperating to speed with my foot on the floor I punched the button to go to HV mode. I could feel the gas engine kick in as the car suddenly accelerated harder.
Especially when over 12k miles a year for a 36 mpg car vs a 45mpg car its only $266 a year less in gas at $4 a gallon. $5 a week is nothing when you can buy a impreza or civic, save money on insurance and initial cost and depreciation to make the mpg void.
Hybrids dont really make much sense in highways as the ice is on all the time. They make perfect sense in an urban setting where the electric motor take over most times
Hybrids aren't designed exclusively to be efficient on the highway, they're designed to be efficient around town or in stop and go, where non-hybrids are least efficient.
Charlie, The winter blend gas and oversized wheels conspire to reduce highway mpg. It also bears repeating that 70 mph is far above an optimal highway speed for fuel/energy efficiency. One thing owners of this Prius generation know for certain, there is no 'cooler' way to hit this mpg number. 😉😉 BTW I would still like to know exactly what the German cars do to achieve highway numbers far above their official EPA rating. 🤔
I live in OC too. I did a MPG test for my Corolla Cross Hybrid (almost the same engine as the new Prius) albeit starting and ending at a different point. The temperature was 61 degrees so a bit warmer. I did run it in NORMAL instead of ECO because people have said the RAV4 actually gets better highway mileage this way (something to do with the RPM range). 42.5 mpg which is impressive for a compact SUV. Definitely recommend this car or a RAV4 Hybrid over a Prius unless you are just commuting long distances and want to eke out every drop of mileage, in which case I would get the Corolla Hybrid.
Growing up I thought the Prius was the dumbest thing and didn't understand why people wouldn't go buy sports cars or trucks. As a 24 year old who is about to buy his first car with his own money, I'm highly considering this new Prius, something I never thought I would do.
I have definitely noticed in my big 2015 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 v8 hemi and heavy four-wheel-drive, going 65 mph over 70 mph I get 3 MPG better on the freeway. Unless I’m really in a hurry, I go 65 mph to get the way better MPG. I even had a friend calculate his best MPG was going around 60 mph on the freeway. I at least want to go the speed limit.
EPA test isn't a steady cruising range but it would equate to cruising at about 60 mph. So considering you were going 20% faster, you should expect to get 20% less efficiency. The Limited trim has an EPA mpg of 52, so you should expect 42 MPG going 72 mph and definitely 52 MPG at 60 mph. Same with EV range for those of you who don't claim to get EPA EV range.
@@mrxman581 well the do epa tests indoors with no wind and controlled temperatures. So yeah, epa is no cross winds and perfect weather. My Hyundai Ioniq gets 91 mpg when cruising at 55 mph. I’m wanting to get a new awd prius but it looks like I’ll be taking a huge mpg hit based on many TH-cam videos. Not many people can say switching to Prius is downgrading their fuel economy
@@TaylorPhase The EPA test does not have average highway speed of 67 mph. The average speed during the test is 48 mph and with a maximum of 60 mph. So what are you talking about exactly?
now youre lying. im literally on fueleconomy dot govs official website showing how the test is done and its showing a max speed of 80 mph. you know they revamped the testing after 2009 right? you must be looking at old data. and CLEANMPGs data on their website iver hundreds of cars says at about 67mph is when cars cross the epa highway. some cars do it at 65 or 68 but the average is about 67mph in a steady state@@igotanimac1
Not sure what's up with your car. I just got my 2024 Limited and just did my first fill-up and got about 47 mpg, but that included several hour in the cold with the motor running at the dealership to learn the systems before test driving and many more hours in my driveway messing with the ton of settings and infotainment. After the first fill up, and a lot less messing around, I'm getting a nice 51mpg as indicated by the car. My commute is about 50 miles a day, 80% of it is on the highway. Oh, and my Prius is AWD as well, that takes a few points off the mpg.
@@TaylorPhase That is my overall average since I left the dealership. I drive about 50/50 highway city. At the moment I have around 3500 miles on the car
Wow I was easily getting over 52mpg in the prime when I was in hybrid mode. With plugging in each night, I was getting 40+ miles of EV range around LA. Overall, despite a few 150+ mile days & a day driving in the canyons, I still managed to get 90+ MPG overall for the week I had it. But then again I had it in April and it was a lot warmer.
Did you set cruise control to on for this test at all? I find I get MUCH better MPG if I do. I've been averaging anywhere from 54-65 MPG using just cruise control, especially on roads with lower (45 MPH) speed limits. And this is with a 2017 Prius II.
dude forgot to reset the MPG counter once he got onto the highway. his starting average mpg was like 15 from resetting it when stopped in the city and not on the actual highway after accelerating
So $4.66 per gallon divided by 45.3 miles is 10.29 cents per mile, and 45.3 MPG divided by 12.38333 kwh is 3.658 miles per kwh. That's as good as you'll get in a lot of battery electrics.
The point is that there is no one car that is best for all people. It all depends on one's lifestyle, what they value most in the car, and what they can afford. This channel covers motorway travel, so it will be good to draw conclusions for motorway travel. Does it fit everyone? No! If, for example, I can charge my car at home, the cost of the trip will always be cheaper in an electric car or a diesel car, this is just looking at the cost per mile factor. Gasoline cars are always the least efficient from a fuel consumption point of view. It's a matter of each person doing their math, but if the main factor is the cost per mile, then an electric or diesel vehicle will always be better. Does it suit everyone? No! There is no one car that serves all people equally.
@Charlie great video. When you get a chance to review the hybrid Lexus RX (with Mark Levinson and do a sound system review). Any chance you test it on the off road trail that you tested the Rav-4 or the Jeep Compass please? The Hybrid Lexus RX is AWD. Thanks!
Cold air is more dense and therefore air resistance is higher. Also 17 inch wheels would be a better choise, also more quiet. Is the EPA consumption 70 miles/hour consumption? If not, there's no reason to compare with that number.

Why not do the trip during the day? That's real world too. Or, test the most efficient trim level, the LE which more people will end up buying because it's the most efficient and you still get the power. It's won a number of awards for a reason. It's a fantastic car all the way around.

Our 2024 Prime returned 62mpg and, 69mpg on the only two highway trips we have made. Cruise set to 105kph (65.6mph). Ours is an SE with 17's, big difference in milage from the 19's as well as a better ride. Anyone only getting 40mpg in a Prius is flogging the car, hard.

I find that 60 MPH is the sweet spot for enough speed + good MPG. Try that next time bro. I understand it’s a lil slow.
Hybrids aren't fuel efficient at high speeds. They test in the 55-65mph range for highway speeds.
