    I just picked up a 2011 Prius on Christmas Eve. I traded in my Audi A4 for a car that gets good gas mileage.

    So far I am pretty pumped at the mpgs that I have gotten from this car.

    Looking forward to poking around and learning the ins and outs of the new hooptie.

    Happy New Year!

    I already have and then some. The Audi was lucky to see 20 mpg in the city and 25 on the hwy.

    Thanks for the welcome. I have been searching around for items of interest. :)

    Be sure to sit down and read your owner's manual. Lots of good information there. Have fun!

    Thanks all. Um, the OM is daunting to say the least. I hate reading, so I just leave it in Eco, unless I need more throttle response for on ramps. Things I will do soon: Rid myself of the hubcaps, get all weather mats, the home Link rear view mirror and maybe install an Ottonavi or a Toyota Nav system. I really don't need a nav system for anything other than the bling factor. I have nav on my phone, and my wife has a Garmin in her Mini.

    Other than that, I am thrilled.
