    Disclaimer Alert: This is merely a response to elaborate on the logic behind this poll and the tread in general…the following response is not meant to disrespect or refute anyone’s opinion.

    I can see why one may make such a statement or conclude in such a fashion; however there are a ton of individuals we know that are 'internet savvy' who utilize forums, blogs, social networking sites etc. to exchange information. These same individuals vastly vary in their professions and technical skill levels. I personally have found priuschat to be a wealth of knowledge and simply discovered it using a google search upon purchasing my GEN III. Frankly, I would have visited my dealer on several occasions for a sanity check if it wasn’t for the members of priuschat…[simmer down affect]. :)

    That said, my wife who encouraged me to start this thread is now a very talented and entertaining blogger/writer (shameless plug: www.squishygirl.com ) who couldn’t stand computers five years ago...btw she is also a teacher.

    Thanks again to everyone for their overwhelming responses…we will begin analyzing the data collected and posting the findings once everyone has had a chance to chime in.

    Kind Regards,

    Ed and Jen

    My wife and I are retired. I was a accountant and she was a nurse.
    OK, besides patching me up every now and then, she is retired.

    On a side note, I started sending emails requesting quotes on my Prius and I'm starting to arrange financing! According to the dealers I've heard from it looks like I'll need to order my car.

    Hi. I'm new to this forum. I was looking for info on detailing but thought this would be a good place to say hello.

    I'm a Marine Corps helicopter pilot.

    Of course I have a red 2010 III. Have had it for a week and it's awesome.

    If I counted correctly, I make the third physician on this list. So at least I'm not alone. I'm an anesthesiologist in Memphis, TN.

    I just recently moved from the NJ/NY area -- got my car in NJ on 6/16. Although I was able to get 27-28 city and mixed/30-32 highway with my '97 Geo Prizm, the car was finally beginning to show its age. The cost of the repairs would have come close to the value of the car. More if you add in the cost of maintaining car insurance.

    I get 49-50 +/- a couple of tenths during my day to day driving (stop lights and several uphills). What I lose in going to work, I generally make on the trip home. I'm happy with this considering I haven't really changed my driving habits. Last time I filled up was on 7/12. I love not having to fill up as much. It's also a much more comfortable car than my Geo Prizm.

    Since this is only one small section of the overall forum you are really seeing a majority of GENIII onwers. The rest of the site has yet to chime in since this is a GENIII specific forum. If this goes into the non-GenIII forum (Fred's House of Pancakes) you'll see a more accurate reflection of the average Prius owner on the site. :)
