    I just got my new Prius. Rationally, I should have waited until the supply recovered. But I couldn't wait. I ended up having to get from Palo Alto to get a winter grey III with the Navigation package and not pay a big premium. I'm in San Diego. But I got it and I'm learning to drive it to maximize gas mileage. It is fun.

    Have fun, it's a great car, you'll love it! Snoop around on the forum for hints on mileage if you're interested.

    Welcome aboard and enjoy your new ride. Careful not to over-think it. Read the manual... lots of good info in there.

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

    I love Spidey's advice: don't overthink it. Just drive it and forget it.

    Enjoy the high MPGs, technology and low emissions.
