OK. So, to and from lunch was a nice short trip, which is notoriously bad for gas mileage. Plus, I added about 300 pounds in passenger volume. Since we were on low mph surface streets I did kick the car down into low gear, and even though tweeter @ChevyHigh recommended flipping the car in neutral and revving the engine at a stop, that was easier said than done. The Prius engine just doesn't rev. But it did keep the engine on a little bit longer.
So, I managed to whittle away that high mileage ... but not nearly enough.
The new results?
Total miles traveled: 22.9
Average MPG: 34.1
Still not quite what I was looking for. But it kind of proves a point. Look for Leg 3 (from work to gym) and Leg 4 (from gym to home) later today ...
