I have really been in love with this car and much of the credit to my father. I took delivery of my 2006 Pri on Jan 1, 2006 from Star Toyota in Houston and was hooked. I moved from 2-3 tanks of super a week to 1 tank a week. I no longer bill my clients mileage and mark it all off on my taxes ( 8000+ ). I have my order in for the gen3. Are there any other Heavy users out there. As of today I have 42,863 mils on my Pri and should be at or near 66,000 by the end of this year.

Well, I dont drive that much, but I do drive 250 miles at least a week. The gas savings has been great! I also fell in love with the car after my father told me to test drive it as well as the Matrix. I was sold on the Matrix untill I saw a black Prius and tested it out. Dad was right. Who knew!

I used to do about 900Km/week due to commuting and random cruising. I got to 60,000KM in about 16 months. I probably do abut 350KM/week now since I live close to work, but when the weather is nice, I pile on the clicks. I drove over 2000km in the last 2 weekends with more to come next week The only reason I can put on all these clicks is because of the Prius. I'd be deep in the red if I drove that much in my last car.

You're right where I am. I got my '05 on August 15th of '05 and immediately drove it to California and Nevada (Reno). I took the coast route through Oregon down to Watsonville, etc. I had 3000 miles on it in the first 2 weeks.

I'm not driving as much now, although I did go down to California during spring break.

I don't have a long commute, but do take relatively long vacation trips. A year ago last Christmas it was to Vegas to catch a flight to Dallas. This Christmas I wasn't able to travel, although I intend to drive to Florida next Christmas.

I've never gotten rid of a car until it had at least 200k miles on it.
