    I just picked up my 2010 Black Prius II (pictures to come). :cheer2:

    No options except the forced mats, but I've been surfing around for add-ons all week while I've been waiting. There were 117 miles on it when I picked it up. That added to my first 51 yielded 53.4 mpg.

    I'm so glad I found PriusChat (thanks Jeff!) first and have been reading about increasing mpg, the different modes, etc. I've got to go and read my manual now. I figure I'll be back online in a month or so :eek:

    LOL!!! And I just read about the HH:MM :00. My salesperson (who said she went to Prius school!) told me the :00 was for seconds "because at Toyota, we're really precise!" Now either she wasn't paying attention in class, or she has a dry sense of humor :rolleyes:

    Anyway, I'm glad to join the club and look forward to a long time with my new baby. My Jeep was 15 and had 337K and the service guys promised me at least the same with my new Prius :D

    Oh, an introduction...I'm a software engineer in Upstate NY. I have two dogs: a 3 year old black Lab and a 17 month old German Shepherd Dog, a Guiding Eyes for the Blind puppy in training. I am active with the dogs and also gardening, photography and scuba diving so we'll see how much the Prius can hold!
