    I traded a Tacoma for this, since I am commuting 140 miles a day and 20 mpg wasn't cutting it. We got a great deal on a 2014.

    140 mile commute/20 mpg = 7 gal. .....ouch!..

    From 7 gal to 3 gal. per day. Let us know your Prius mpg.

    You now own a WGM Prius (refers to the color). You live just down the road from me. Commuting to SD huh? I hope you will love your Prius as much as we love ours. Good choice for your needs. Should save you about $15 per day in fuel cost. I 'll take a drive up to Idyllwild today to cool off a bit.

    It looks like he got a Prius Plus. It sure looks like it has the Plus Ground Effects installed.
