    I just purchased my first Prius. A 2014 Prius Four to be more specific.

    I've owned a number of Toyotas in the past: a Corolla-Tercel, a Corolla and a Solara. My last car was a BMW 328i. Loved the Bimmer but my work-related travel is 64 miles a day and the BMW only got 22 MPGs combined.

    While there is clearly a difference in pick-up and performance between the BMW and Prius (obvious much?), I am absolutely loving the gas mileage! Not only am I getting 51 MPG to and from work, I get to use the HOV lane. So, I am saving money on fuel AND getting to work in less time.

    What's not to love?!?!?

    Welcome to PriusChat! I hope you enjoy your Prius as much as I do mine.

    (Do yourself (and us) and put at least a vague location in your profile. Almost every question you ask, our first thought is "Where are they?")

    The only Prius with solo HOV access is the Plug-in.

    edit - I guess you could be in state other than CA where it is legal.

    I suspect
    I suspect that varies based on where in the solar system he is. We just don't know.
