    And so the journey begins. Congrats on your new Prius and welcome to the forum. As the hot season approaches, you'll enjoy that solar roof. Read the owner's manual and enjoy all that Prius offers.

    Hi
    I'm new also. Picked up my Prius4 on Sunday. I've been averaging 49-50 MPG. Mu first fill up should be soon. So far so good.

    Congrats on your new Prius and welcome to PriusChat. You'll surely get good results from your Prius driving around the Columbus loops.

    Thanks Tom
    Just filled up today for the first time. 48.7 MPG/ Pretty good for the first time. I did notice today when it was cold my MPH were a little lower. What causes that?

    I know it's been cold up there and that's what causes that slight decrease in MPGs. You'll find your MPGs climbing back up with temps. This is probably true for most ICEs. Some on PriusChat block their grilles in the winter.

    So true. Your awareness while driving Prius would raise to a totally new level.
