    Hi all,

    I just moved to San Diego from Orange County but I still want to work in OC. My one way drive is 75 miles. Luckily my company allows 2 days work-at-home. Even with that I needed some thing more efficient that my V6 accord. So last Sunday I finally got a package 2 prius for $22,600 before tax and fees.

    I am really excited about how much fuel I will be saving by switching to this car. Also, I won't feel guilty driving such a long distance to work. I think my gasoline consumption might be slightly lower than the average commuter.

    I am looking forward to learn more about the Prius in this forum.

    Thanks,

    Par

    Yes, congratulations. Now take the next step in fuel conservation and look for a job close to home, or better yet, at home. It sure beats commuting.

    You made the right choice for a vehicle. With your commute, your gas savings will definitely be cut in half. Working 2 days a week at home is another incentive. I wish I can do that as well...(wishful thinkin in my part). :eek:
