    New to the chat, got the car on Friday $28.3 K out the door, half way to my first tank @49.8 mpg.
    Fun to drive, like playing a video game to beat the MPG ;)

    Shark Fin Antenna and HID are the next things on my list.
    Cheers!

    Congratulations !
    You can drive it like any other car and get good mpg and if you really get into the playing with driving techniques (lots of reading here on Chat) you can get GREAT mpg. :)

    I just traded in my 2011 Prius 2 for a 2013 Prius persona and I'm also starting off with 45 or so mpg. I think it's time for me to relearn the driving style it seems :)

    my first tank was like that... i guess the car, the tire and other just need to break the ice, but congrats on the new persona;)

    The fun is only beginning. I've had my BP Prius for 4 years now and I still love it as much as I did the day I got it!

    56 MPG Here. Welcome! My best tip drive it like you have no brakes. Watch up ahead and foot of gas when u see traffic slowing or light changing.

    I've noticed since juruki mentioned to use the "pulse and glide" technique that its actually helped quite a bit. I was getting about 45 mpg and now Around 52-53 mpg.
    Seems the persona is programmed different than my old Prius ii. I'm all for it, just confused me a bit ;)
