    Hi there all. I just traded my 2003 Subaru Outback H6 3.0L in for a 2010 Prius II. I went with the II mostly to keep costs down, but there wasn't much in the higher packages that I felt I needed. Anyway, it really is an amazing car -- a total departure from any other auto I've owned or driven. I love it.

    Right now my display reads something like 475 miles or so until the next fillup, and although I know the onboard computer tends to be generous about the gas mileage, I should be able to get 3 times the mpg as I did with my Outback -- and in light of the predictions of 5 and 6 dollar-a-gallon-gas this summer, I can't think of a better time to own one.

    Congrats on your new Prius. I'll assume you got the cool blue! Welcome to PriusChat. Enjoy the MPG's, technology and low emissions. In addition to surfing the forum, read your manual as it offers a lot of useful information.
