New Guy Checking in!

Hello all from Central Florida! My new 08 Prius is a week old and has 500 miles on it.. I am so far averaging around 50.1 mpg. This is hiway miles to work mostly at 65 to 70 miles per hr. (or get killed by the fast traffic!)

I came out of an 05 Ford Expedition getting maybe 17 hwy, so you just know I am having a good time with the mpgs now!

My Prius is Barcelona red with a grey interior and I think is a 1224 model with "B" options if that makes sense. I have yet to study the sticker real well.

I already love this vehicle and think the hybrid display is cool! Cant wait to learn all kinds of stuff from y'all!

Hi Sheepdog, welcome to PriusChat again. Be sure and look at the sticky topics in the forums, particularly the Knowledge Base. This is such an amazing car. I learn new things all the time.
