I'm thrilled, I bought my Prius III on July 27th, (Cash for Clunker'd my 2004 Jeep Liberty with 260,000 Miles)... today, 9-16-09, I have 8236 miles on it... on my one month aniversary, I had 5400 miles on it, it cost 265.00 in gas, 55.00 for my oil change and tire rotation. The money I saved on gas driving the prius rather then the Jeep, which would have been 800.00) made the payment on the car and paid for the maintenance... It's like having a sporty, fun car free... I live in SE MA and travel to Boston daily and to northern NH every weekend... Prius was the best decision I've ever made, and all while having my mid-life crisis...  |

Friends: 0 | Re: 3 months and 5000 miles , I feel BAD about putting so many miles on my New Prius.... 2 weeks and 1300 miles. On par for 30k for my first year. I bought the car to drive it, so I don't feel so bad. Only 3 fillups versus the 5 with my previous car over the same time period. That's the number I'm looking at. |

Friends: 2 | Re: 3 months and 5000 miles , I feel BAD about putting so many miles on my New Prius.... I love driving, ever since I was a young kid. I don't mind driving 30 miles to see something special, like a tool store, hobby store, special toy store etc. Now that I am older and having to pay for gas myself, I've been inhibited somewhat. With the Prius, I'll just let myself go. 3 weeks, 1500 miles. In the shop for 10 days.  hit and run (I'm the victim).When I get the car back, I'll drive all over the place again. I don't know about you, it is like getting rolling back the clock for me. I drive everywhere and don't worry about mileage or anything. In the big scheme of things, what's 40 mpg vs. 50 mpg. Personally, I think a well worn car that has been nicely taken car of, is more beautiful than a brand new car. |

A little update, now its been almost 7 months since i got the car and i have 12500 miles, which is not as bad i expected it to be. i have got over the sadness of putting miles on the prius, its a fun car to drive and a joy to own.  |

Friends: 0 | Re: 3 months and 5000 miles , I feel BAD about putting so many miles on my New Prius.... I bought my prius V on November 28th and as of today about 5 weeks later I have 5600 miles on it. I traded in my 2009 escalade because I couldnt afford to drive it anymore. I love this car and would never get rid of it. |
