    Glad you cut through internet BS and really got to the bottom of Prius. What MPG are you getting so far?

    Welcome to the forum and to the enlightenment of Prius ownership. ;) I looked, watched, listened, and read for about a year before I bought mine. No regrets here whatsoever.

    It takes time for each Prius to train its owner. :D Your mileage will improve as your vehicle breaks in and as you get used to it.

    Congrats on your new Prius and welcome to PriusChat :welcome:

    I used internet to research and locate my Prius. I never knew about PriusChat until my dealer told me to check it out. Sure glad I did since the forum's been a great resource for helpful information and tips. I suppose I've contibuted my share of BS to their database:D

    Enjoy the high MPGs, technology and low emissions.
