    This is the best website to learn how to get the most mpg out of the car. Congrats on the purchase!

    Congrats on a wise purchase! Sounds like it's time to develop that peripheral vision.;):p

    Pack #3 is a good one. This summer, there were no pack 3's or even 4's available, mostly 2's and 5's, 6's. I wanted JBL, so pack 5 it needed to be.

    So, in late September, Toyota updates the 09 Prius options and announces pack #3's again. Several weeks ago, Toyota Sunnyvale starts advertising Prius with pack 3's at $24,888. Pack 5 sticker is $27,574 and with the summertime blues wait list, sticker was the norm to pay.

    Saving about $3k on pack 3 would have been nice, but hindsight is always 20/20.

    Note to self - when buying a new car, wait 'til Thanksgiving or so.

    anyrate, congrats on your car!

    Welcome, Northport, from a fellow Long Islander. What color is your car? I'm a proud owner of a 2008 seaside pearl. Please keep your eyes off the MFD while on the LIE. I'd hate to have a chance encounter with you due to either or both of us not having our eyes on the road!

    Congrats.

    Consider getting the Clean Pass stickers for the Long Island Expressway's HOV lane, and the Green EZPass toll transponder for bigger discounts on the NYS Thruway and certain NYC bridge and tunnel crossings.
