    Just getting into the Prius (bought it 10 days ago). Have been a full size SUV (Suburban) driver for 20+ yrs. Liking the mileage, and I'm finally old enough to not worry about the POWER.

    Have a few questions and will take them to the appropriate pages.

    Have a great day.

    It's an 07 Barcelona Red, package 2. Posting pics not my forte. Tan cloth interior. Nice clean car, had 18,200 miles on it.

    Got my questions answered just by doing searches ... quite a site.

    Welcome aboard! I traded in my 2007 Expedition EL for my new 2008#6 beauty. After putting over 500,000 miles on expeditions I am not missing the space at all. I am enjoying the extra $$ I still have. at 10,000 miles since Valentines day that adds up to nearly $1,500 in gas saved!! :)

    Based on the payment, I have a free car!

    Yes, I'm buying mine with the money I'm saving on fuel as well. But I have deep concerns about the potential negative impact on the gasoline companies.

    NOT!!!

    This week I get to drive about 1050 miles. In the Prius averaging about 47 mpg at $3.30/gal I'll spend about $73 in gas vs $247 with the Expedition. This is a pretty average week. That works out to $698 in gas savings each month, $8400 per year! I love this car!

    Welcome to PC and congrats on the new car. Get used to not seeing your favourite gas station attendant as often as before.;)
