    Thank You... This is awesome. I've had my Prius since September 2011 but just found this group. I am sooo ready to buy the plug in Prius after I get this one paid off.

    This has been so very helpful, thanks. I bought a 2006 with 141,000 miles this week and have programmed a second key and stopped the reverse beep (I think) using tips from this site. Learning more every day thanks to this group.

    I bought my 2005 Prius last year with 133, 700 miles. Here in Auburn CA I'm doing some maintenance, thanks to others' information. Inverter coolant drain/refill will be done by dealer I guess. Too scarey...I have no special equipment etc. I wonder if the transaxle fluid and the transmission fluid are one and the same.

    I too really appreciate this chat forum.
    Thank you

    I believe you may have changed to Kilometers per gallon. Look in the same screen for a icon for m/g (miles per gallon).

    I'm considering buying a Used 2009 Prius C, however am wondering whether the fact that we only use a car 1-2x per week to run around town will be an issue. Any advice?
