    This is a picture of my dashboard after my drive home from work. The long commute (nearly 50 miles) makes me sad... but the MPG makes me veeeeeerry happy!!!

    Glad to know I'm not the only one! The majority of the people I work with have a similar commute since we all live around the same area... I'm surprised they aren't ALL buying Prii.

    You might very well start that trend. And think what will happen come late Spring 2013, when the weather is warming up and you are displaying 60 mpg.

    This is a good video that may help you achieve the 60 MPG. It is a short film.

    It's the screen that flashes on the dash once you power off your car... I would assume the 2010 has it but I don't have a 2010 so I don't know.

    It is unique to the 2012-2013 models. It was part of the mid-cycle refresh.

    In summer with better fuel blends and warmer temps you will be floored by the mpg potential in these cars. Winter takes a toll on mpg. Some people lose over 10mpg due to temps and weather.
