    :) wow, I cant believe I got my stickers! Guess the cut off got expanded. I really didnt expect to get them at all. But honestly, I doubt I will use them very often. Only when rest of the lanes bumper to bumper. Doesnt that double the value of my Prius?(just teasing)
    Anyway, I am also still surprised how many Prius owners are driving so fast. I see some at 80mph+. I am up to 48+ mpg but now way near the 650 miles per gallon per tank. Anyone else out there getting over 500+ miles per tank?
    Finally, I got my sheepskin front seat covers at costco. There were so easy to put on VS the Toyota ones. Now I just have to get some rear cover, mainly for my pouch. (I got tan, non leather, seats.)

    I'm driving 70-80 mph (on my drive home tonight I was up to 88 in the carpool lane) and still averaging 52-54 mpgs. Usually fill up when the last bar begins blinking, around 530 miles. I could probably get up to about 600 miles.

    If you have side airbags you need to be aware of which seat covers you get (ones that work with side airbags)- otherwise you dis-able the side airbags.

    Have fun. Here is hoping that the Governor signs the ab 2600 bill to extend the HOV Hybrid in California till 2011.

    Your luck is good. I'm sorry I was going so fast when I passed you. But at least that disspells the rumor that a Prius won't go over 60.

    You state you have a 2006 Package 8. That comes with leather. The sheepskin sounds very comfortable though.

    I don't have any HOV lanes down here in Carlsbad but the stickers get me on the freeway faster by allowing me to enter via the HOV express lane on the left of some on-ramps. Small reward! Enjoy!

    I'm not sure that it got expanded. Do keep in mind they do issue replacements if your car gets in an accident. I had to get them because someone hit my car and I had to get the rear bumper cover replaced. The #s on the second set were MUCH higher than on the 1st.
