After reading this post & the responses it sounds as if the reason for the decrease in mpg is because of the tires. There was no warning or indication in my owner's manual about using a specific tire, where did you find that information? What tires are correct?
Thanks

The "TIRE SPECIFICN WARNING" is only for the FIRST GENERATION (2001-2003) Prius.
It has nothing to do with your 2004.
