New Prius Three Today - Need General Tips

Well I guess that all depends on you for the LoJack... A dealership by me I almost bought from installs it in all their cars.. why.. because they have a theft problem... we talked them down $2k as LoJack was $800 and $1395 for hand pinstripe, detailed, etc... but we opted for a different car at a different dealership which does not have LoJack... It is up to you if you think there is a high theft rate of Prius in your area... for me I dont need the added expense.

now for general tips... guess we need to know how you will be driving? Example is I went from driving a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 on 35" tires 125 miles a day costing me $20-$30 a day in gas to the Prius 3 which is costing me $7 a day. My commute is 50mph with traffic lights to get to the main highway which then 10 miles of it is 55mph speed limit then most @ 65mph speed limit then 5 miles back roads.

for me I took my hub caps off as I like the black rim better with the dark blue my car is. Second I put 42psi air in the tires (stiffer ride but less rolling resistance). My next things are I would like to tint the windows and debadge (remove Prius badge).

That is really it for me as it is a gas saver and not my "Weekend Warrior" as I have my GMC for that...

People are doing some cool things if you are handy and wanted to do them.. search the forums.. here are a few that I saw..
1. shark fin - replace antennae whip with a shark fin looking one
2. front camera for parking
3. lowering springs

hope that gets you started...

oh and my commute so far...
@ 56mph = 61mpg
@ 70-76mph = 54.5mphg - today

guess finding your sweet spot of driving needs and mpg is also something to find...
