    I have been lurking for 2 weeks since bringing my Prius home. I have already seen a huge increase in mpg after trying different strategies in posts I've been reading.

    I just want to say thank you! PriusChat is wonderful! I am learning so much!

    Welcome to the forum and to Prius ownership. Not stopping at gas stations can be pretty addictive. ;)

    Thank you, Mark! And, yes, I agree about good mileage being addictive! I am already obsessed with keeping the mpg near 60! Florida weather does have its advantage.

    I have been considering a Prius for a while. I am so happy I bought this car!

    Welcome aboard! What subjects/grade do you teach? I have been trying to keep my 50 mpg average (not working)... Alaska has its disadvantages. :)

    Thank you, Spiderman and Emig!

    I teach second grade (so all academic subjects) at a magnet school for the performing arts. It's a great age! And a wonderful school!

    I haven't achieved my 60 either, so don't worry! It's sure fun trying!

    You can tell it's warming up here as well. Look at my Fuelly link below my signature. I can't get those kinds of numbers in colder weather.

    Spidey's having to dodge too many moose to get a real good mpg average. :D

    FL flat land and warm temps go a long way toward high MPGs. Congrats! Brace yourself as the Spring Break season is fast approaching.
