Unlike other car fuel economy surveys, TrueDelta's Gas Mileage Survey includes questions about how and where a car was driven. So you can get an idea of the Toyota Prius's real-world gas mileage (MPG in US and UK, L/100km elsewhere) based on how and where you drive a car.
- view all responses; guests view a maximum of five MPG (or L/100km) gas mileage responses per Toyota Prius powertrain
- filter gas mileage results based on driving style and driving conditions

About TrueDelta's Toyota Prius Gas Mileage Survey
Tire Decision Guide

Government estimates often aren't indicative of actual, real-world gas mileage for the Toyota Prius.
Here, unlike anywhere else, you can learn what actual fuel economy and gas mileage (MPG) to expect from the Toyota Prius based on how you drive and the roads you typically drive on. TrueDelta's Gas Mileage Survey (formerly the Fuel Economy Survey) is the only one to ask Toyota Prius owners about driving style, terrain, A/C use, driving speed, and other factors that can affect the Toyota Prius's fuel economy and gas mileage in the real world.
And, members can now filter real-world Toyota Prius gas mileage results by the most important factors.
