    Hi all - longtime lurker finally able to join proper with the delivery today of my Silver 2012 Prius T-Spirit (UK spec) with Leather, Solar Roof (with total surprise 17" wheels) and Privacy Glass. Just got back from a little run from London down into deepest Kent and back, getting 63 mpg.

    Looking forward to learning all about how to hypermile and getting a translation (into simple) for the 604 page owners manual and 224 page media system manual. Crumbs.
    :p

    Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride. Be sure to read the manual at least once.

    Cheerio.

    Congrats - I've had mine for two weeks now, and am STILL learning new things. The owner's manuals are just a LITTLE overwhelming!! (love seeing 387 mpg on a mostly EV run!!)

    Sounds like the T-Spirit is the UK equivilant of the 4 or 5 here.

    Doubt you would get 387 mpg... 87, more believable. :)

    63mpg? Looks like you don't need any instruction on hypermile technique :D
    Just enjoy your new car- it will get outstanding mpg pretty much no matter how you drive.
