Prius (2004-09) :: Mileage Count Since Last Refill On Consumption Screen?
Aug 13, 2010
I have a 2009 Prius (purchased in March of '09) - working just fine - 58.6 mpg.
Each time that I have gone to purchase gas, I have not pushed the reset button on the Consumption screen as I have wanted to keep a running average for mpg. However, the miles driven count since the last refill automatically goes back to 0 (again on the Consumption Screen) and then starts a new count. This is useful as I know how many miles I have driven since the last refill. Today, however, I purchased fuel and the count did not revert to 0. Has a sensor been damaged? Is there anything I can or should do? I know I could press the Reset button but that would be a last resort.

So maybe it is just my incompetence on this.... however, I was putting my second tank of gas in the 2016 and the Fuel Filler door will not shut...
Not only that but since the door will not shut, on my dash screen it keeps saying "Refill Ready" every 5-10 seconds.

Recently we've been seeing a steady Energy Consumption screen showing up on our monitor, even when we change the screen to another screen. It fluctuates between green, yellow, and red arrows pointing from the engine and around the screen. The red lines do not show up other than during acceleration. There is no other notice of any possible problem on the dashboard readout.

I bought a 2006 Certified used Prius a month ago and it was rear ended 2 weeks ago (uninsured motorist couldn't be more pissed) Well since the wreck the MFD screen has been skipping bars in the consumption category. It will just leave a whole space blank. Everything else it working fine. We took it to Toyota to figure out what was going on and they are saying that everything mechanical and electrical with the car is fine. They said the only thing they can think is that the MFD screen is having issues after the wreck.

For the average mileage calculation that appears in the odometer screen, what resets it? Seems that it self-resets at 1,000 miles. Is this correct?

I've had my P3 for a week and have really been working on getting the max MPG using tried and true techniques and I've settled at 53mpg on average for the week.
During my commute, there is a long stretch of downhill - almost 3 miles - where I never engage the ICE but I notice my range ticks off with each mile.

The Problem(s):
[1]My car burns about 4 qt's of oil every 5,000 miles. I am constantly battling to keep the dipstick properly soaked.
[2]I bought the vehicle 8 months ago, at the time I was getting about 28 mpg cty 34-36hwy. Now I get about 21 or 22 mpg cty and lucky to get 25hwy . I know it's winter but should I be seeing this kind of a loss? I am not using the heat THAT often, or atleast not often enough to cause such a decline in mpg.
[3]The first thing I did when I bought the car was get an oil change. I took it to a non VW dealer and requested synthetic, the IDIOT monkey's did not grant my request they put their bulk trash in my car and 3 days later the oil was two qts low and darker than coal. I immediately took it to a smaller shop who changed the filter and put Syntec in. What I want too know is should I be using a different oil? Could the monkeys mistake be responsible for the current oil consumption?
How do I know if my turbo gasket(s) are bad? Anything else I could do to improve economy?I use 93octane(w/o ethanol) My oil is Syntec 5W-30.

I have a 2005 Toyota Prius with 209,800 miles on it. Just had an oil change a couple of weeks ago. Prior to that oil change, and even a couple of months prior, my husband and I began noticing that we are frequently adding oil every 4 to 5 days. I find that to be unusual however, given the age of the vehicle.

I have noticed my oil consumption has jumped to 1 1/2 quarts at 3000 miles..(it has been changed every 3 to 4000 miles) and is always very dark.. There's no leaks and the spark plugs were clean (just a little ash) when I changed them with the last oil change. No smoke from the tail pipe and the car still gets 45/48 mpg ..

My 2006 Prius with 126K mikes has started to use more oil than I think it should.

I have an 05 Prius that I bought used. It has 59K miles on it. Recently I took it to the dealer for an oil change. They told me it didn't need an oil change, but did need an air filter. Afterwards, the mileage dropped from about 47 around town to about 42. Had the oil changed a week later, and the mileage is now about 40 around town. The dipstick when cold shows a little above the full mark.

I'm not sure where this should be posted, but my MFD showed a mileage reset to 0 today. I only reset at fill-ups so that I can do long division.
Anyway, while trying to figure this out, I saw on the Consumption screen that the AMPG also started bouncing around. Before I shut off the engine, it bounced between 39 and 42.
Since the last fill up, the pips have been decreasing quickly...4 in 71 miles. I know the pips are not a linear measure, but 4 in 71 miles seems pretty quick.
Where I should start looking?

I have a 2006 Prius with 165K miles. My MPG suddenly went down 20% (47 to 38). Tires are fully inflated. I did change to high-mileage oil at last service, could this be the cause?

My 2004 has 132K miles and still running great. We now have a PIP standard model as well. I can't find a screen that tells what the overall mileage per tank is. Does it exist on this car?

I've had my 2007 Driftwood Pearl Package 2 Touring a little more than a year now. I had been getting 42-46 MPG every tank until I filled up my gas tank today.

When I filled up with gas today the mileage in the display didn't reset to back to zero after I turned the car back on and drove away. Is this indicative of a problem, or is it just a fluke?

My '05 Prius has been going strong with just passing the 200k mark recently. However about 2-3 weeks ago after I replaced the PCV valve, I started getting really bad gas mileage. I'm talking about getting an average of 45 mpg in city/highway combo down to 30 mpg. Filled up my tank twice from empty so I'm pretty sure it's not just bad gas. Highway driving does slightly better than city.
Today I noticed that my acceleration from stop is just absolutely terrible. The car responds really slow and sluggish and takes a while for it to realize I want to go. Low speed doesn't get good mileage at all. It seems I get normal mileage at almost 65 mph, not sure why.
I don't think the 100 degree weather we are having here in Texas is causing THAT much of an effect because last year and two years ago during 100 degrees, gas mileage was normal. What to check? I searched and most talk about cold weather. I have a relatively new 12V gel battery so I doubt it is that but I can try disconnecting it.

I can change my nav system radio for just a radio? I am not smart enough to make the nav work and the light from the backup camera wipes out my night vision.

Experienced lower mileage after changing the plugs at about 120k miles?
In the 10 months (23.6k miles) since I had the dealer change the plugs, I have averaged 43.3 mpg overall.
