    Drove a blue 2010 Prius II off the lot yesterday. Now a 2 Toyota family.

    Went back and forth on purchase of new car. Considered Mustang-sporty classic sytle, Aveo- simple, Volt/Leaf- impractical useless in emergency and other hybrids- not as refined as Prius.

    One of my primary driving tasks is an approximately 20 mile commute (1 way) majority highway. Did it for 1st time last nite/this morning and averaged over 50 MPG.

    I'll be hanging around here looking how to learn how to maximize all aspects of the Prius.

    Great choice. Sounds like the Prius is just what you needed. Welcome aboard! What is your other Toyota?
