    Hello Yall. I am new Prius owner for a week now. I am really enjoying a new type of vehicle. I am a grit growing southern boy who drives truck pretty much his whole life. I decided to get something with good fuel econonmy and naturally chose the Prius. To my suprise the Prius drove extremely well for such a small car. It actually drive as well as most luxury cars. I chose to go with an 08' White Touring package 3. The only addidtions I have made are: 35% tinted windows and leather to be installed in a few days.
    Thanks for the great info and looking forward to participating.

    I don't know if southerners would be offended, but now I'm craving the jalapeno/cheese grits I used to get at a place in NYC where I used to live.

    Nothing wrong with switching from a truck to a Prius, you just can't haul as many bales of hay in a Prius. :)

    Hey GasHog.

    I just got my Prius on 3/31, so it's still less than a month old. I'm loving mine thus far with no problems and a 53.8 mpg average to date! :) I'm coming from a 2005 Nissan Truck (mid-sized) which averaged about 16 mpg.
