What’s the mileage on a 2007 Toyota Prius?
Hello -. We were averaging 48-49 mpg for about the first year on our 2007 Prius. Immediately after our regular dealer service, mileage dropped down to 39-40. No other changes were made. Even with my best pulse and glide efforts, I can’t get past 41 now for any significant time, and we actually get better mileage on the highway than around town now.
