    Hello
    I've had my 2008 Blue with leather for a week now. I only got 400mi off my first tank which sounds weak compared with what I've read here but I just came out of an F150 so I'm kinda thrilled! How do you know which package you have? Mine was a certified used from toyota but I never thought to ask. It has leather, nav, keyless, foglights, spoiler etc. None of my paperwork says what it is though but I think its the touring with leather I guess. Anyway I've already prematurely shot my mouth off already in the forums considering I have next to no experience with this thing (well I already bolted on a chassis stiffening plate) but just saying hello.:)

    Because the gas gauge is mere hint of the actual amount of fuel left, I frequently decide to refill at 400 miles. I hope that whatever mileage you achieve, it dwarfs the F-150. (I get 42 MPG in the summer and winter, and 47 MPG in spring and fall)

    I'm a newbie here too. My daily driver is an 05 Mini Cooper S, my wife's car is an 08 Prius with Touring package. Looks like your's is the same as ours.

    My wife never resets the average gas mileage on the computer and it reports 47 mpg with 50k miles. FWIW, My MINI with a few performance mods averages 27 mpg.

    I hope you are enjoying your Prius!

    Your Prius is a package #6. I have package #5 which has cruise control, SE-SS (smart entry-smart start), back-up camera, VSC (vehicle stability control), aux mini plug, 6 disc in-dash CD changer w/ 9 speakers and JBL premium sound, bluetooth wireless technology, HID headlights w/ integrated fog lights, DVD based navigation system, side curtain airbags.
