Hey, me too! I got mine last Thursday, also red, pkg. #5. Am also getting about 45 mpg, getting used to it, etc. I'm convinced the FE will improve, because today was the first day I did my regular commute (which is a good route for FE, I've learned over the past few months with my FEH), and it bumped up a couple of tenths. Where are you - what's the weather like? Here, we've had some very cold weather, rain last night and today, and now it's getting cold again. BTW - if you want to turn off those annoying backup beeps, it can be done - check out the Prius forum for instructions. I tried it today and it does work on the '06.
