    I'm just curious about how much driving people out there are doing? Being a stand-up comedian, I put a LOT of miles on my car- I picked it up November 21, and am at 12,700 as of April 15. Anyone else driving this much? I'm saving a TON of $$$ on gas since my old car was a 92 Camaro, which was getting around 15 MPG, while my Prius has been around 49-50. Happy driving!

    I've put on 7k in a similar amount of time. Two years ago I had to make daily trips of 85 miles each, in addition to a 58-mile round-trip commute.. I put about 25k on that year.. wish I'd had the Prius then!

    The downside is that the warranty disappears pretty quickly. I got the 100k extended warranty for that reason -- I went throught the 5/60 warranty on my previous car in about 3.5 years (and the first year I had the car, I drove only about a thousand miles!)

    I've had the car for 47 days now, and have 3750mi on it. Drive it about 100 miles a day for work, a little less on the weekends. My 'retired' car is a 2000 neon, had it since July 2000, and that has 90k on it, so I'm expecting to put about the same rate of miles on this car.

    Yup, I'm sitting at approximately 18,500 miles now on mine. I bought mine last November as well.

    As a yet to be owner, I haven't decided on warranty yet. I drive about 50 miles a day M-F. Since toyotas are usually dependable, is there anyone out there with a toyota (of any kind) that bought an extended warranty and used it? I guess it would be one of those pice of mind purchases.
