    As a new Prius owner, do you find yourself doing anything differently (and repeatedly) than before you bought it?

    I'll start with a fairly common disease symptom:

    I often drive 1-2 mph under the speed limit to max mpg, while carefully using rear view mirror to check for facial expressions :eek: or hand signals :rockon: (I think that's what he's doing) of the driver behind me.

    Yours?

    Funny question.......I think I've changed a lot.
    I'm driving much slower and "old-fogey-ish". no more jack rabbit starts, etc.
    I'm always watching the energy monitor, trying to get in the "just battery" mode.
    I find myself checking the mpg after my wife drives it to see if she hurt my mpg rating.........
