| 2016 | 9368.8 | 44.8 |
This year our mileage was higher primarily due to taking a ~1000 mile road trip in western Nebraska and Colorado. Ingrid also started driving the Prius more and her own (now sold) car less on evenings and weekends.
Just like I wrote in 2015, I believe main thing lowering the fuel economy is
short winter drives. My drive to and from work is just 2.5 miles per direction,
and I often drive a similar distance to and from lunch. In winter, that's too
little distance for the car to warm up to the point that it enters the
fuel-saving EV mode while stopped at lights.
