    i dont own a prius i wish i did, i wish i could afford one, i'd buy a classic. i truely love this car.

    but the car i do drive is a 92 pontiac bonneville with 122k. it takes 92 octane cause of its age. i put in $25 worth of 92 at 2.25/gal it got me 3.4 of a tank.

    be proud of your cars, i sure am. reading all the fun you are having is getting to the point of depression.

    sorry for rant
    thank you

    Sorry to depress you, but feel free to live vicariously through us all - perhaps your time will come when the stars will align and you'll be able to get one, and then you'll never want another car again! :)

    Not to depress you either but rather to sympathize, I gave up my 94 Bonneville with over 130,000 miles on it when I got my Prius (after a 6 month wait). I was getting 22mpg, the airconditioning was broke and the car would randomly stall at times. Now I am averaging about 51mpg on the same commute, have the temperature set at my comfort and rarely think about the Bonneville at all. Oh, I guess in a sense the Prius still seemingly randomly stalls but now its a perk not a fault.

    I'm not normally an optimist, but in this case I am: In 5 or 6 years Toyota will come out with something even better than the '04 Prius. That'll be my next car and I'll like it even better. If I live that long. (And it'll probably have features we haven't thought of yet, but that the Toyota engineers are working at as I write this.) (Who'd have though of SS/SE a decade ago?)
