There are five reasons that can cause your Toyota Prius to drop its mileage, which we are discussing in this video. However, there are also five things you can do to improve your Prius MPG or the mileage of any hybrid vehicle.

Torque News Prius reporter Peter Neilson, who is a real expert in Toyota Prius and hybrid vehicles, explains what can drop your Prius mileage and what you can do to improve your hybrid vehicle's MPG.

Peter writes, "so, your Toyota Prius has lost 5 miles per gallon, and now you are wondering what to do about it? Well, never fear you are not the only one who has dropped some serious mpg."

Believe it or not, the number one reason Prius owners see a decrease in fuel economy is inclement weather.

Tire pressure, the silent mpg killer not only for your Toyota Prius or a hybrid vehicle, but for any car in general. Check your pressure every month. I do not care if the light is off or not. If you care about fuel economy you will check your pressure.

Your aging hybrid battery could be costing your Prius to have a lower econ. A failing or bad battery does not allow for adequate gasoline engine off time. This action results in more extended periods of engine run time and lowers fuel economy.

Keep watching and reading to learn all the reasons that can kill your Prius mileage and what you can do to improve the mileage for your Toyota Prius or any hybrid or PHEV vehicle.
