    I picked up a blizzard pearl white 2012 Prius Plug-in Advanced this past Saturday, and am loving every driving minute of it. I have a 30 mile commute from the east bay to San Jose, CA, but it can take as much as 90 minutes. Not to mention having to refuel about 5 times a month (former owner of an Acura TL). So far this week, I'm probably averaging about 95 mpg (110 morning, 80 afternoon), based on the reports the car gives each trip. Having electric charging stations at work really helps. Now, I hope to get the plate info real soon, so I can get the application in to the DMV for the green CAV decals, and save some commute time (hopefully). Overall, I'm very happy my first hybrid, and look forward to driving it each day.
