Trying to drive “green” in Zihuatanejo

I wasn't arguing with you, I just find it weird that a vehicle gets better mileage than what the manufacturer states. They generally claim to lie in their favor. I was hoping for better mileage in my hybrid Honda.

As noted, I’ve been driving Prii for 17 years. I recorded my gas receipts every fill up for years for claiming work expenses.

Let’s just say that Toyota was quite generous to itself in reporting fuel consumption on the in-car displays. Not once in 17 years has the fuel consumption (based on calculating distance by odometers and gasoline pumped) been as good as what Toyota wanted me to believe.
