    This car is so sweet :)
    75k Miles on it, $4000
    What a deal :)

    and its got brand new brakes, battery has been changed, and engine was rebuilt... (due to accident)
    Its almost like brand new... No sign of the accident at all... Sweet :)

    Ive driven it now for over a 1000 miles, and its the nicest ride Ive ever had...
    MPG average is about 40... which surprised me, because the epa said it would get 41mpg

    I get 40mpg, in the middle of winter, and I spend time idling listening to music at lunchtime at work. So, I would say, the 2001 prius can easily get 41mpg on average... I cant wait to see my summer numbers!

    You sound like me getting my first Prius. My milage also dropped with the winter months, but in the summer I was getting 58-61 mpg consistantly with city driving. 75 mph highway the mileage dropped to 43-45 mpg. Enjoy the freedom from the pumps!
