    So, we went house hunting today, and had the Prius loaded up. I'm still on my first tank, and am a total newbie. I can't believe how well this car does. Ended with 45 miles and 75 mpg, with a mix of higher and lower speeds.

    Mostly 55 mph zones and fast stops due to missed turns.

    Yes, and it was 41 when we left. I think my favorite part is sitting in traffic or waiting at drive ups and not burning a drop of gas. I'm finding myself to have more patience now.
