New Toyota Prius LE It broke the Guinness World Record for lowest fuel consumption, averaging 2.5 l/100 km from the west coast of the United States to the east coast. And the mileage on a full tank was about 1700 km.

Wayne Gerdes’ journey was from Los Angeles City Hall to New York City Hall, a journey that was 5,168.7 km long. He climbed 2,100 m to cross the country and passed through areas such as the Mojave Desert where temperatures reached over 40°C.

Toyota He stressed that the fuel efficiency indicator obtained is not typical, as the Prius’s claimed consumption in normal mode is around 4 l/100 km. Gerdes gave some advice. He recommends starting slowly and gradually pressing the gas pedal. It is also important to release the gas pedal in advance, using the car’s inertia as much as possible when approaching a stop.

“The Prius has amazed us all for the last 23 years and, frankly, continues to amaze us today,” said Michael Tripp, Toyota Vehicle Marketing group vice president. “For us, the world record for lowest fuel consumption is further proof that the Prius is truly a marvel of engineering.”
