My Car: 2004 Prius Package: Pioneer #3 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 3 | You have no idea how sweet it is for me to finally ask this question. At first (back in 2000), I went months before finally seeing another Prius. (And by amazing cosmic coincidence, the first sighting I ever had was the first Prius I ever drove. The owner bought that demo model from my dealer.) Then it was weeks between each sighting. Then it finally got to the point where there was a good chance I'd spot one each day. Now, it doesn't suprise me anymore to actually see 5. Yes, five. HOORAY! So... how many do you see? |

If i had people in the car prius sighting, i would probably see more. That's also on the weekend though. On a normal day just running around town, i at least see 5. I have seen over a dozen on my normal rought though. |

My Car: 2004 Prius Package: #9 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | I see 5 to 6 every working day. Weekends are usually less but even that is changing week by week. I expect the work day numbers to increase by 2 in the next few weeks as I know of people getting Prii in the next few weeks. There may be others I am unaware of. I and others have started a few others down the path. One of my partners is on the brink I hope to turn her next week! Turning someone from the dark side is fun. |

My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | I am seeing on average about 7-10 a day. The cool part is, there are 2 other '05's in my track that I see every morning when I leave for school. The thing I don't like, is now that they are so common, they don't like to wave back. I get all into it and get my hand out the window and everything, they just look at me like, "do I know him?" |

That really surprises me because the state Dept. of Energy guy who issues the $1,500 alternative fueled tax credit checks said that Oregon has more Prii per capita than any other state. OTOH, I only drive about 10 miles per day, but it's through the most populous county. |

My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | I haven't tried to count, but... it's difficult to go more than a few blocks in north Seattle without seeing other Prii. On my frequent trips between Seattle and Portland, I often pass (or am passed by) a handful. (Occasionally I even see a 2004-2005 pass me at well above the limit -- guess they're not too concerned about keeping their MPG average up.) And I even see plenty in Beaverton/Tigard, which surprises me a bit given how heavily that area seems to lean to the right. |
