Hello. I'm a new Prius owner.

I just wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. My name is Robert and I purchased a 2009 Prius recently. I love driving it and I'm already getting over 45mpg!

:welcome: Welcome to PriusChat, Robert! This is the right place to find out the details about your wonderful new car. Have fun, and if you can't find an answer using search, don't be afraid to ask.

Hi Robert and welcome! You're in for a real treat here on PC, it's an amazing resource.

Have fun and congrats on your Prius!

Two words: pulse and glide

Hi Robert:

I am also from St. Louis and I just bought a 2008 Prius (Touring, package 6) with less than 13,000 miles on it. I am excited about the new car and still reading through the owners manuals. I love the maneuverability of the Prius and it is fun to drive. However, after reading some of the posts here, I wish I had discovered priuschat.com before I bought the car. I am also a bit overwhelmed by some of the comments about putting gas in the car. If anyone can point me to the thread that discusses the issues with refueling, I would appreciate it. I will likely have to buy fuel this week or next, so it would be good to know at least that information ahead of time.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with the fueling question, and hi again to Robert.

Hello and grats. What color and package did you get?

Have you noticed that these introductions sound a lot like a twelve step program meeting: "Hello, my name is Tom and I drive a Prius."
