new used prius owner in LA

Hello,

Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I bought a used '04 Prius from my cousin a few weeks ago, and could hardly wait the 8 days it took to ship it from the east coast.

Anyone here from Los Angeles? Specifically, anyone have a commute over the Sepulveda Pass on the 405? Just wondering what kind of mpg you guys are getting, and if you have any good tips on maximizing mpg on that route (crawl up the hill, and coast down the other side?).

Thanks!

Welcome!
Lots of tips on MPG in the forums.
Lets see some pics when you get your new baby.
