    Motorists pumped about mileage

    Demand soars for vehicles that are fuel-efficient

    By Pete Bach
    Post-Crescent staff writer

    Connie Schauman just finished her first day driving her new 2005 Toyota Prius on Tuesday and couldn’t be more thrilled.

    “I’ve been smiling since I left this morning,†the Town of Harrison woman said after arriving home. “I was very impressed. It runs so quiet my husband said he didn’t even hear me pull into the garage.â€

    Ahhhh, memories. Good old Appleton. (my hometown)

    Intrigued, but afraid, of change. As always. :roll:

    The Post-Crescent is not the best paper in the world... now you can see why.

    thank you Dave :) for the congrats and the wedding present!

    hubby's in Toyota Master training as of next week. hopefully they will expedite the Prius Tech training process and send him to that once he finishes his ASE certifications.

    also, his bay is right next to their top Prius Tech so he gets to ask the guy all sorts of questions for me.

    so that's a very long-winded yes. :)
