What are some tips for saving gas on a Toyota Prius?

I recently purchased a Toyota Prius and I want to make sure I am getting the most out of my gas mileage. Are there any recommendations or driving techniques that can help me save on gas?

Hi Jill, congratulations on your new Prius! One tip for saving gas is to avoid idling for long periods of time. If you're going to be at a standstill for more than 10 seconds, it's more efficient to turn off the engine. Also, try to maintain a consistent speed and avoid rapid acceleration and braking.

Hi Jill, another way to save on gas with your Prius is to make sure your tires are properly inflated. Under-inflated tires can decrease your gas mileage by about 0.2 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure. Keep an eye on your tire pressure and fill up as needed.

Hi Jill, using cruise control on the highway can also help improve your gas mileage. It maintains a steady speed and prevents unnecessary accelerations and decelerations. Just make sure to turn it off in heavy traffic or on winding roads.
