I'm back from a 2,600 mile roundtrip to Denver for Thanksgiving with my family. The Prius C has proven to be a comfortable long-hauler, however it appears to suffer in fuel economy on the plains of Iowa and Nebraska. About 99% of the mileage was with the cruise control set at the speed limit, but not higher than 70 MPH in NE & CO. Perhaps coincidentally, both fuel ups at Love's resulted in 2 of the 3 poor fuel economy results from this trip.

Installed 949 Racing 6UL 15x7" et36 with Continential EcoPlus 195/60-15 at 290 miles on the tank. We'll see how the difference in grip and rolling resistance play out.

I was messing around with the instrument display and accidentally reset Trip A, which I use for tank economy calculations. Add 1.2 miles to next tank distance.
