    HELLO OUT THERE IN PRIUS LAND...
    (My 2nd post)

    First off I am not a mechanical type.
    I have been seeing mention as a newbie of potential modifications (equipment) to make your Prius either more fun or more fuel efficient.
    Is there a link to read these ideas or some suggestions you can give me. I am on a limited budget after buying the car so cost is an issue.

    On another subject, is there a Prius club in Portland, Or.

    BTW, I bought a Spectra blue with package 2.

    Toyota has been developing the Prius for more than ten years; it is very unlikely that any mods will improve fuel economy, other than using a higher pressure in the tires (lots of us use 42/40 PSI front/rear).

    As for fun mods, that's a religious discussion I choose not to join :_> My only fun mod was removing the wheel trim rings.
