    Dang! I had purchased wheels and mud and snow tires last fall. Put them on because I did not want to take the time to put new low resistance tires on. Major mpg hit. Told my mechanic to get some tires ordered for installation with my inspection.

    Just hit 25k on my C4. No problems to report. I like the car a lot. Wish it was as quite as my GenII though.

    I'm in the process of moving closer to my work... I cannot wait. I will be going from 49 miles each way to 12 miles total. :) One more month.

    Be aware that too little mileage per month is about as bad as maintenance on an F15 once every 6 months. Keep a sharp eye on things and make sure gas, filters, and oil aren't degrading. You especially need synthetics.
    Ditto for hybrid system.
    and thanks.

    Mahout: Thanks for the advice. I will check fluid levels filters and oil. I see from your picture you to have a white Prius. Is yours super white or moonglow? I have a moonglow. Living in the desert the super white is too bright for the summer sun reflection off the front hood. I love my decision after one year on buying the moonglow color!

    I bought my C2 in April 2013 and just turned over 20K. No problems at all.

    I just hit 33K and have about 70 fill ups and I am getting a solid 56. MPG . I have done nothing but Oil Changes ever 5k and it is still running smooth. Tire pressure 40-45 lbs.

    Before they start work, tell them to leave your TP alone.
