    Hello everyone, I'm a new convert and loving it. I have a 2007 standard Prius with option#2. I bought it from a single guy that had 2 cars and decided to sell his Prius--his lost my gain. I've had it for 2 months and average 44.0 MPG. This is such a wonderful thing when I was only getting 15MPG from my SUV. I'm planning on doing the BT upgrades to stiffen the frame. Thanks to all of you that give your inputs, I've learned a lot about my Prius.

    I sold a 1996 Saturn SC2 coupe getting about 23 miles to the gallon. It was a manual

    Not only did I double my mileage, I love the transmission of the Prius. I'll never go back to a regular car.

    And *I* love the BT plate. Really stiffened the car. I notice the difference.
