    Traded in the fiancee's 2001 Camry Gallery Edition for a 2013 BCP Prius Persona. Just thought I'd introduce myself to the forum now that I'm an owner. We carpooled to work today and averaged 54 mpg per the car. Will be interesting to see the hand calculated mileage. Not very many mod plans other than 4300k HIDs and swapping LEDs for most of the bulbs.

    Looks beautiful. Welcome to the Prius family.

    I tracked my mileage for the first 5000 miles. Computer MPG is usually 1.5 to 2.5 higher than actual MPG.

    I bought my Black Cherry Prius in April. I love this car. It's my first Toyota and first Prius. I'm still discovering new things about it, and am still in the "ooooooh aaaaaah" stage. Congratulations!

    If the 2013 is the same as the 2010, the car's estimated MPG will be 4 to 5% higher than actual mileage

    The "Persona" does look nice.
    Love that Black Cherry color.

    I think you need to change your profile "Your Vehicle Year:" to simply 2013 Prius.

    The "Persona" isn't a Prius c.

    Yea, we were originally looking at the C. But it was just too small for us. Thanks for reminding me to change it. (y)
