I picked up my 2012 CT200h last Friday, having traded in my 2008 Prius with 100,000 miles on the clock (achieving 60mpg). The advertised 70mpg combined appealed to me as extra Mpg is always a welcome. Since driving my car I haven't exceeded 57mpg and have been looking for ways to improve it.
Having driven the Toyota Prius for many years I am familiar with the driving style required for efficient driving but non of that seems to be working with my CT200h.
I have read many pages online regarding driving techniques for the CT200h and found that I'm doing everything it says.
When experimenting with my Prius I initially found that driving at about 78 mph gave me a better mpg than at 70mph and had that confirmed by my local dealership as they had heard the same from other customers.
On Monday I travelled just over 200 miles to work and achieved 55.6mpg at 72mph. Tomorrow I am returning home and will try another style to try and achieve a higher mpg. I'll let you know how I get on.
