welcome, maggie. don't let them scare you about the mileage. i got my hybrid last september, and in my first winter with it here in minnesota, i managed to average 50MPG. there are a great many threads on here about how to obtain the best mileage, so i am sure you will find a lot of good suggestions. enjoy the car....i really like the look of the 2006, but wanted a 5 speed, so i stuck with the 2005.

Best fill 66.7 MPG, best tank 801.5 miles
