PS
Isn't our BLUE AMAZING?!?!?! I love how it sparkles!!!!

so when I say "obsessed" you know it is meant with love, right?! LOL

Sure! Send me a spreadsheet. Anything that lets me play with my car when I'm not in it sounds fun. :-)
And thanks for tips. I'm sure I will be one of many newbies whining when mpg drops and we don't know why. Now I will!

Congrats, Lauren. I'm glad you are so pleased with your car from the very start. You'll need to post pictures of your car in happy places! Just FYI: For some reason (it may simply be psychological!) there seems to be an MPG let down around 1,000 or 1,500 miles, so don't be worried if your once-great numbers start to slide. Also, your first tire rotation will cause quite a skid! Please tell me you are tracking your car's FE performance from the get-go. If not, I'll send you a spreadsheet that may help. (My spreadsheet has a lot of stuff going on so that I can track a number of variables over time. I also separately track "City" v "Highway" mileage.)

HEY!! I got my car on Friday (19th) and LOVE it! I take the "city" way to work instead of highway and I am getting 59 mpg with little effort. Since this is my first prius I am still learning pulse/glide, etc. But on the way home from dealer we did 55-70 mph ALL highway and still got 45 mpg so I am HAPPY!!
I am so glad I upgraded to the sunroof. It is amazing and I'm getting spoiled for the first time with navigation, satellite radio, bluetooth, etc. This car is AWESOME! :-)

Hi Lauren! My message to you is too long, so I've sent it as a PM (private message).

CONGRATS on the 2010! How much are you loving it?!?! Would love to hear more pros/cons you've discovered. My #3 with solar should be here in 2 weeks. I'm getting really excited. :-)
