    Hello all, I'm a new Prius owner in Miami, FL. I bought my car last Saturday, a Spectra Blue Mica 08 Touring with Package #6. Thrilled with it so far!

    Open to any advice, words of wisdom, etc.!

    Hi and welcome. I hope you do not become obsessed with this marvelous car like I have.

    Anyway anything that is worth knowing can be gleaned from this site and John's:

    Read and follow the owner's manual and the scheduled maintenance guide. They will save you trouble and money.

    When the last pip on the gas gauge starts to flash, buy gas immediately. There is no way to be certain how much gas is left in the tank at that point. Ignore it and you will eventually run out of gas and feel very silly.

    Congrats on the new car and welcome to PC.

    I usually put gas when two pips are left, to be on the safe side.

    Enjoy!
