Prius Tank #2
I know this is thrilling blogging which is why I do it. Filled up for the second time this morning... got almost 390 miles for this tank, and at 7.75 gallons that's a good 50MPG. Plus, just to add to the excitement of this blog entry, I used my brand-spanking-new cordless air compressor and digital tire gauge to make sure all my tires were at the Prius FAQ-recommended PSI, and I've already seen a jump in my average of about 5 MPG! I am sure I am going to get many many comments on this blog entry, so please try to contain your enthusiasm.

Is a cordless air compressor another name for a bike pump? At +5 mpg, both the pump and the digital tire gauge definitely sound worthwhile.
A bike pump might be faster, actually--the battery-powered air compressor takes its time.
I've lost my +5 MPG savings unfortunately now that it's cold. The gas engine is running a lot more and that cuts into the mileage.
