Background

There has been some speculation that the MPG at the end of a tank is lower than the MPG at the begining of the tank. This can be tested by doing a daily log. However, my bi-weekly fill-up may provide some insight:
The data does not rule out exceptionally low MPG events. If it exists, the data suggests it happens with a period of less than ~200 miles.

Here is the raw data used for this chart from the GreenHybrid.com database entry for "Prius 03":
