I'm the proud new owner of a 2006 Red, package 7. I really like this car, even if my wife doesn't. Anyway, finally went for the first refueling, and the average MPG on the MFD was 39.6. Thanks to reading this forum, I know that that is a pretty good start, instead of a reason for suing Toyota for false advertising. I especially think it's decent considering that shortly afterwords, I discovered that the dealership had sent me out with 30/28 psi. The next tank is already comfortably above 40 MPG. Did I mention how much I like this car.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(SparkyPrius @ Aug 29 2006, 01:20 PM) [snapback]311203[/snapback]</div> That is pretty close to what my wife said long before I purchased my Prius and showed her one on the road passing by. But I kept pointing out to a Prius to her everytime I would see one on the road. Finally a few months later when we were ready to buy our own Prius her initial "ughh!" transformed to "amazing". For some it just takes a little getting used to before they start liking it.
