Are there any other Prius owners on the message board? Any advice, feedback, tips or tricks for maximizing gas mileage etc?
OOOOOHHHHHH!!! I am SOOOOO jealous!! (And happy for you!! ) We don't have one (want one!!), but our neighbors do and they love it (they also have an older Honda hybrid). Wish I had feedback/tip & tricks for ya, but all I got is well wishes!!!

I'm a big fan of Walter!


Seriously, what are your thoughts on the Prius? Why that particular vehicle?

Well, we wanted something that would be economical and have good resale value. In addition, Prius has one of the best warranties among Hybrids.

We had also considered a Honda Civic hybrid but it doesn't have as good a warranty.....

Basically, we just need a good, reliable, fuel-efficient second-vehicle and that's the one we are focusing on right now.....

Plus, I've always had a particular affinity for Toyotas....I had to sell my good ol' Tercel before moving down to the U.S. and I regret it every day. It was such a great little car.....

If you see someone drive by you and give you a thumb up, that'll probably be me..

See the South Park Smug episode for more clarification

The Jeff Dunham episode is priceless too and I'd highly recommend his two DVD's.

Believe it or not I HAVE seen the South Park "Smug" episode..... I found is especially funny after living in the Pacific NW where it seems like 1 in every 10 vehicles is a Prius!

Maybe I need to find a South Park Smug bumber sticker or something......

I love that episode, especially the fart smelling and them ripping on that george clooney fool..

I'll be jealous of your mileage while I'm getting maybe 16 MPG and running premium gas..
