Well, its been a week since i've had my 08 Prius Package 2....so far has 480 miles and just got the windows tinted today...(pictures to follow) dealer had it on sale for $19,947...so i jumped on it....traded in a pretty nicely built 2005 Tundra Regular Cab V8 and not looking back....46 mpg on the first tank looks too good...its funny how all my friends say that a 19 year old that WANTS a hybrid is kinda scary but hey, why feed the gas monsters

We have a Prius FAQ that should help you get better performance in the future. It isn't a "do it this way" as much as "here are some lessons learned." Feel free to use whatever makes sense.

After the first tank, I'd recommend recording you mileage. A lot of what we learned is based upon patterns detected and documented in the mileage database.

GOOD LUCK!
Bob Wilson

ps. Great buy!
