Hi Bob,

Thanks for the tips.

Luckily for me, I can take back roads to/from the office that made for good mileage on my old HCH (50 MPG avg) so the Prius should do really well on the same circuit. The first 1.5 miles of my commute is a 30 MPG zone that is 75% down hill mode and the rest is mostly (75%) flat or small rolling hills. There is one stretch that is 50 MPH but that is only 7 miles out of a 26 mile commute but the rest is anywhere from 25 MPH to 40 MPH. I think that once the Prius gets broken in I should be able to easily beat the numbers I put up on the HCH.

Thanks, Brian
