    Thanks for all the great information I've read on this forum the past couple weeks. I just took possession of my new silver Pc3. I plan on using it for roughly 3-4k highway miles per month and I'm hoping to get 50/mpg. I'm already addicted to saving gas and was getting passed right and left on the interstate on my way home!

    As the title mentioned I'm probably one of the bigger Prius C owners so I'll let you know how that works, but the adjustable height in the seat has given me nearly as much headroom as I had in my 2006 Galant.

    I'll be keeping a close eye on the aftermarket wheel situation, but other than that I'm pleased so far!

    Thanks again and looking forward to being part of this neat community!

    welcome!!!welcome!!!welcome!!!

    I found out the best MPG on freeway is 65 MPH. if you go over 65MPH, MPG will drop. lol

    I usually use cruise control. set it up to 65 MPH and let the computer handle it.
