    Hey all,

    I haven't been a Prius owner for long, but suddenly feel myself becoming more aware of my carbon footprint! Thought maybe there would be some like minded people on here

    Congratulations - I'm currently shopping for one myself. You mentioned that you were shocked at your MPG - I'm curious - what is it?

    Hi all! Thank you for the hospitality, much appreciated.
    I've had the Prius for a month and am still happy with it. I've been averaging 50+ Mpg using mid grade to premium. :) happy Prius owner


    I'm in mpg heaven

    Toyota recommends 87 octane regular.

    Thanks for the recommendation.
    I wonder how many Prius owners use regular vs higher grades?

    The only good that comes of using premium gas in a Prius is to the oil companies profits. Use Top Tier Gasoline. It's your money :)
