I have had 3 hybrids, the most recent at 2010 Prius. Usually the onboard computer shows anywhere from 48 mpg to 55 mpg. What I have found with these 3 cars is that the computer is somewhat optimistic and I have found that the actual mpg is about 2-3 miles per gallon less. Also running the AC tends to lessen gas mileage by about 1-2 miles per gallon.
