    My wife and I just purchased a 2006 Prius.
    Bluetooth, Nav, backup camera.. great shape.

    I just filled it up - 26 bucks.
    My 25 mile trip back home averaged 48 MPG...

    That is 4x my old average with my 2003 F-150 - I should have done this a long time ago.

    :welcome: to PriusChat. I hope You enjoy your Prius as much as I do!

    I have paid as much as $36 when gas spikes, I start looking for gas after 400 miles.

    Yay and :welcome:!

    It sometimes pains me to fill up my Z since I only get 13-17 mpg now w/my short drives. It requires premium too. Even w/my short drives that kill mileage, my Prius gets more than double my Z's mileage.

    We have twins (though mine was born a year later). Enjoy the gas savings!
