Have you had a chance to check oil level and tire inflation? The usual problem is over filled oil. Don't even try to read anything from the oil as everyone selling a car starts with an oil change.
My practice has been to replace the tires of my newly bought used cars within a year . . . usually for cause. So what kind of tires do you have on the car? I'm especially interested in the tire make, model, size and max side wall pressure. Also, when you get a chance, how does the wear look across the treads of all four tires? This often gives a clue to alignment.

ps. BTW, welcome to the CLUB but being an HCH owner, you already were.

Yes, I was anywhere between 65-70 miles per hour the whole way home. In the HCH, the cruise hurts your mpg, with my first trip with the Prius I felt like you don't take quite the hit in the prius with cruise control. Is that true?
Also, is it easy to check if the oil is overfilled?
The tires are Yokohama YK520.
The size is 185/65R15 88H
The max side wall pressure is 51psi, but it says not to inflate over 40psi. ???
Tread looks good, I'll post some pics.
Thanks for the reply!
