How to get the most miles per gallon from your Prius

So you've just gotten a new Prius and want to learn how to maximize the car's fuel efficiency? Some Prius owners have become Jedi level masters of Prius fuel efficiency, and these “hyper milers” use a few tried and true methods to get their MPGs up in the 50s, 60s, or even 70s, while one infamous Prius driver has even gotten the car to achieve an outrageous 100 miles per gallon. So how do they do it? Well, if you really want to get those big MPG numbers, you're going to have to give up your led footed ways. When accelerating, do it gradually, gently lifting your foot from the pedal as you drive. You can gently reapply pressure to the pedal if you need to accelerate more or begin to lose speed, but avoid mashing the pedal down if you want to achieve maximum mileage. Once you reach a desired speed, try and “glide” at that speed without accelerating as much as you can.... if you are going downhill, coast as much as you can and you will get better mileage. Also, try to not turn the engine on and off... short trips from cold stops will reduce your MPGs. If you are stopping for just a few moments, leave the car idling if you are confident it won't get stolen. All these tips from this tutorial video should help you get the most out of your Prius.
