Newbie with a 4 day old 2008 Prius #6 here in Vancouver, WA

Enjoy The Car First. Than work on the MPG.....
Inflate tires to 42 front and 40 back.
Coast to red lights. Try going 25 mph during the first 5 minutes.
You'll catch on.........
But for now just enjoy your new baby.
Best of luck and wellcome to priuschat.

 

We are neighbors, as I live in Camas, WA. Bought my 2007 Silver Pine Mica pkg 5 Jan 2007 and perdict you will love your Prius more every day. THere is a break in period for the car and the tires. Mileage will improve on the tires at around 1000 miles, and the Hybrid Synergy Drive has a couple of different break in milestones where mileage will improve, not to mention MPG is typically higher in the summer.

There is a Portland HSD meetup group you can find at Meetup: World's largest community of local Meetups, clubs and groups! - Meetup.com if you want to meet a fine bunch of Prius lovers locally. The next meeting is Sat March 15 at MacMinimans in Troutdale.

Be sure to wave if you see a light green Prius with turn signals on the side mirrors and fog lights on by themselves as daylight running lights. Seems like I am up and down Mill Plane Blvd once in a while.

Welcome!

My Magnetic Grey makes me smile. I've had it for a couple of months now and have learned ALOT of things from this website. I'm so glad I ran across it.

Enjoy your new car!
