    guzzler, 40 mpg average over 1900 miles so far, no complaints, very comfortable.
    i wish it was a plug in though. at 10-15 miles per day, we could be driving ev, and they have an evse on sight.

    Here's a photo from "Plugshare" of a municipal parking lot charging station in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a city which is so environmentally consciousness that it has an official "Environmental and Transportation Planning Division" which is responsible for "improving the city's quality of life, by working to protect and improve the city's environment ... by planning improvements to the city's transportation system that encourage sustainable modes of travel":

    Yes, the parking lot is totally cleared of snow -- which is piled in one of the two spaces reserved for EV charging.

    I made space for the new Prius in the back garage. The old one sat outside most of its life as my work car.

    The house garage is more like a show room and doors don't open until spring. My wife has it carpeted.

    ok? and how does a regular Prius contribute to the topic discussed here? Does your car have a EVSE buried under the snow?:confused:
