Looking for Upstate Members

Pillage & Plunder in Albany with the PRIUS GANG!!

OPERATORS BEWARE - subjects are armed with 50mpg and are considered dangerous to the oil industry!

 

I'm in Rochester and should be getting my car in the next week or so.

 

I HAVE A 2005 PRIUS AND GO TO ALBANY OFTEN. I AM IN UTICA AREA.
HOW DO YOU GUYS USE THE "B" ON YOUR SHIFT???

I have only used B once. It was on an uphill climb on I84. The Pri seems to do well enough on the uphill and downhills without, at least around here. It might be different going up o down Whiteface by Lake Placid, though you Sierra, Cascade or Rocky Mtn folks probbaly would laugh at these baby 'hills' back east.

It's funny, but I never even seem to get a 2nd look or a smile from any Prius driver I see on the roads.

 

I am also in Rochester, former Kodaker as of Nov 06. Now work down the street from KO. Would be interested in joing a club in this area

I am just east of Rochester in Palmyra and would love to get together with other Prius owners. Let me know if there is a group nearby!

 

I live in Victor, NY, southeast of Rochester.

Got mine Feb.5, 2007.

I'd really enjoy the car and would enjoy having a beer with the other Rochester Area drivers.

Ithaca, NY

2007 Barcelona Red

2nd tank of gas 42.7 MPG with snow tires and wet roads

There was a group of Prii at the world famous Ithaca Festival last year, I'll see if I can dig up a photo. That's in addition to the very popular volvo ballet.

Nice, I'm still into and have the same on my second tank in North Boston, NY - I'll fill uptoday. I'm about 25 miles south of Buffalo and ices, snow and zero temps all played a factor. I do a 23 mile each loop almost daily. Hills and 8" deep snow have not been a factor, but I am getting a spare set of dedicated winter tires for her next season.

Love the Ithaca festival.

I live in Fairport and will be getting my Prius next week. Please let me know if any Rochester area get togethers are planned.

 

Just picked up our new 2007 Magnetic Grey, Package #2. We live in the Northern Catskills, about 60 miles from Albany. We now have 2 Prii living in our small town. Any plans for an Albany meet up?

 

Anyone from lower Dutchess County, around the Wappingers or Fishkill area of New York?

 

Just got my white 2007 touring Prius last week. Check out this event at Watkins Glen just for hybrids. www.greengrandprix.com. So who is attending?

 

I live in New Paltz New York and am a new owner.

 

I have a 2006 Prius and live near Utica also NYlight. Love the car. I do have one question, my mpg on the comsumption screen seems to move around alot. It can be 52mpg one minute and then drop to 46 the next. Last year I was getting 45 to 47 pretty steadly but this year it's all over the map. I am still driving the same way. Any ideas as to what's wrong? I would appreciate any help I can get.

Got mine a few months ago, the best investment ever!

When you put it in "B" the nav system takes over and the car will automatically head for Buffalo, NY. You will still have to park manually when you get there.

Haven't heard of one formed yet....
Did "bump" into Doc Willie in Kingston at a car show last Saturday, checked out his "spacecraft".
Nice guy, nice car.
