    Hey all, I bought a 2007 package 2 in magnetic grey metallic back in mid-march, coming from a (lovely, but slowly dying) '02 sable wagon. I have to admit, I miss my leather seats, but damn, it only costs me $25 to fill up my tank from 2 blips:cheer2:

    You can always get your seats converted to leather if you really miss them.

    Welcome! I share your sentiment about the Prius fillups. :)

    I cringe every time I fill my other car (350Z) since it requires premium and costs SO MUCH to fill vs. the equivalent distance in my Prius. My short commute means I'm getting crap mileage in both, but MUCH crappier in my Z. :|

    Crap mileage in my Ford Explorer = 15 mpg

    Crap mileage in my GF's Motorhome = 8 mpg

    Crap mileage in my Prius = 46 mpg :madgrin:

    I'd like to say howdy also, picked up my Gen III Prius last Thursday, and definitely know what all the fuss is about.

    Glad we made the switch and we will continue to do so, until a practical, full EV is made available/affordable, to us.

    Now that the TOYESLA marriage has formed, the future of full EV motoring, is looking very bright....:)

    I will admit, being 18, it has made my friends envy me. :D
