    via I-90 and I-15? What happened to Rrt-2 to Everett.

    Hope it's just confused by elevation change. Check engine light not uncommon when going up and down mountains. Re my Ford and Acura way back when.

    My companion skipped town on the next flight out of Spokane. So I decided to cut the trip short and visit a friend in Idaho Falls

    Another long 425 mile slog up hill of the 500 total. Plus the speed you were going and still got 40+ mpg. Where to next? May I suggest Yellowstone, it's just over the hill to the east. And cueing up some Bob Seager for you

    Not check engine light. it's the 5 k maintenance message telling me to go to the dealer, I have Carista, so I could reset the message:D

    You don't need Carista to clear the maintenance message. There is a funky sequence of button presses that clears it. Sorry, I don't recall what it is.

    Speaking of Carista, I bought it with me, so if any of you Priuschatters are near the I 80 all the way to Gary Indiana want me to customize your settings on your car, such as using the unlock function on the key fob to roll all four windows down before getting in your hot car:cool:

    So far I have spent $118.67 minus the Sony Rewards Mobil gift card of $25.00 so $93.67

    50.058 gallons so far
