    Welcome to PriusChat! Only 18k miles :eek: - a mere baby! You should have great fun with that car, and it's incredible on those few visits to the gas station. (I filled up today, and got my first 61+ mpg fill-up (my best so far - since I got "ChuggyPig" back in January). Lots of great advice to be had on this board, and excellent help and expertise) - Wil

    The Prius seems rare here in MS, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine.

    (Heavier tire and wheel combos will subtract from the MPG)

    same sticker, but epa doesn't test them. you will lose a few mpg's, if you read threads here from people that have them.

    Well, ChuggyPig's odometer clicked over 90,000 miles today, and when I filled up yesterday, the calculated (miles divided by measured gas added, not metered and displayed) was 62+ (best so far!) Oh, how I love my Prius! - Wil
