As many Prius owners may know, the advertised gas mileage is not realistic/true.
I've found my mileage to be exactly opposite the rated expectations whereas I get better 'highway' mileage than while driving on 'city/surface streets'.
After owning this car for 8-years, my mileage is no better than when I first purchased it; I'd been lead to believe that after approximately 20-25 thousand miles, the mileage would likely improve, but that has yet to occur with over 40K miles driven.
My Prius is regularly maintained within recommended service intervals for oil/filter changes, as well as air filter replacements, etc..., but doing so has not improved the mileage.
I do not drive fast nor do I 'push the pedal to the metal' when leaving traffic lights or stop signs, etc..., so not sure why my mileage is not better, especially while driving around town, which is where most of my driving is done.
I also 'coast' as much as possible when approaching traffic lights and stop signs, etc..., but all to no avail.
