    Well, my wife's Explorer died a few days before Christmas. We knew we eventually wanted to buy a Prius, so we pulled the trigger. I got her a red Persona Series and we both fell in love with it. Long story short, I traded in my 2002 Camaro and got a Winter Grey Metallic Prius 3 on Saturday.

    Welcome to PriusChat!

    Several ideas to help your PriusChat experience:

    1) (this is always true) The accuracy of our answers to questions will be proportionate to the accuracy of your location. We can already guess that you are somewhere on Earth, but more detail is better.

    2) Consider making a Screen name for your wife and her car and location even if you do all the chatting. ScarletWench71? That way when you ask about one car, and have the other in your profile, you do not need to start each and every question with "On my wife's 2015 Persona"

    3) I have a mantra you may need "All the power an adult could use, but not all the power a boy could want."

    Welcome times 2!!!

    Your gonna like filling up the prius's with a $20 bill and some change now.

    I traded in a charger RT for my Persona. When gas was high (it's going back up now in case anyone didnt notice) I was putting in $70 a week into that hemi, $23 filled my pri last week and that lasted 2 weeks.

    I love it!! :)

    Thanks for the ideas! Although, the 'wench' part may not go over so well. :)

    Thanks! I haven't had to fill mine up yet, but it's been a pleasure to fill the other one up at less than $20. Down here in SC, we were as low as $1.65 per gallon at one point.

    Wow! $1.65 is amazing.

    South Jersey is supposedly still under $2.

    I'm out in the suburburbs of Philly and we never got under $2, the lowest was a week ago at $2.12, now it skyrocked up to $2.40 or so.... Better than $4.xx though. Lol.

    I moved into a gen 3 Prius from a supercharged BMW 330 , and LOVE the new Prius.
    Wish I could have found a winter grey, but my silver one is ok too.

    Good luck with the Prii ..........

    California gas prices remain at their usual amount/range above the national average. The predicted large increase is yet to appear.
