    I just realized that the Prius I saw filling up with gas yesteday was the very first one I had ever seen at a gas pump. :lol:

    We have quite a few Prii around here too and I have an eagle eye for them.

    The first time I fueled up, another prius pulled in to the gas station at the same time. How rare is that?

    Yeah, same here. Even when I fill up, I don't look and also apply the H1 cloaking device;-0

    See a Prius almost every week at the station, where I fill up.

    Here in San Diego I see the Priis everywhere but have not been at a gas station with another or seen any other filling up. Course I am not at the station very often myself. Finally sold the gas hog Sport Trac that I had!!! Yahoo!!

    I put $13.65 intothe prius today, because I thought i was returning it to the dealership today. $13.65 for more than half a tank - 1/4 before me, and 146 miles by me.

    it automatically reset the trip thing for me, i was pissed! but now it says 67.5 average, so i'm not complaining

    For a few months now I see an average of 10 Prii per day out on the roads around here (coastal OC), and a couple weeks ago saw one for the first time at a gas station. Come to think of it, I haven't seen a Hummer/H2/H3 filling up at a gas station either and there seem to be quite a few of those monstrosities around here as well. :unsure:

    The Hummers are probably in the repair shop most of the time. :lol:

    My 2005 Prius is black and I only fill up at night. A true Stealth!

    i'd be prouder if it wasn't just 6 miles of 40 mile an hour road - with the car warmed up =P

    I was at 54.3 right before I filled up, and that was triptic b minus my current milage - i'm hopeful that all of it averaged together when i return it will just beat the EPA ratings =)
