    Hi All well you could say I’m quite new to the world of PRIUS but since I picked my new PRIUS TSpirt up last Saturday 9th June, I have already saved myself a tank of fuel on my weekly journeys to and from work.

    I travel 208 miles per day 5 days a week, The first day started with 6 miles on the car and I have already reached 1143 with last nights MPG finishing at 55mpg, I have found that each day the car or is it my driving is getting better and better as I averaged only 43.9 on the first day.

    As you can see I’m a high mileage user and will notch up 54,000,00 a year.

    I will try and keep you all posted on how the first year of driving goes, as I will be in for a service in the first 10 weeks of driving the car. I just wished I had found the Prius some years ago.

    Welcome to PriusChat, John. How do you manage 208 miles a day? And what's the T-Spirit? A quick Google turned up the name, but no information.

    wow!

    Congrats and welcome to PriusChat!

    55mpg eh? (assuming it's imperial) Let's see that improve as the car breaks in. It should be quick given the no. of miles you put.
