    I purchased my 2008 Prius at the end of March 2008 and have had 2600 miles of driving pleasure. I'm enjoying an overall average of 47 mpg, but have had 51 mpg tanks of late, and expect better results as I learn to harmonize with the accelerator pedal.
    This site is a wonderful resource
    Thank you to all of the people who share their experiences and knowledge to help us noobies.

    A photographer I take it? I still own my FM2n...the only film body I held onto after moving to digital.

    Yes, I'm a photo dealer and have owned most of the great analog (film) camera models. The FM2n is my favorite 35mm.

    We use the Prius to make deliveries of photo supplies to our wholesale accounts.

    Thanks,

    Excellent, and yes, the FM2n is clearly one of the best bodies ever built. I've been through Nikon FA, F5, still have the FM2n, now a D70 (back-up only) and a D200 as my current main shooter.
