    Well, we brought the baby home today! Seems like it took forever to get here but our dark gray baby made it just fine. Now I'm starting to wade through the manuals to learn more about our Prius. Driving it home was the longest drive I've done in a Prius and it accelerated strongly and handled quite satisfactorily. I have to say it rode as well, and in some ways better, than our 04 Avalanche (the Avalanche is decked out with all the goodies including leather and rode well to but now the dealer owns it :) ).

    My dealer also gave me the extended warranty package for about $980+ also. Toyota's interest rate on the loan was better than any of the banks or CU's around here too. All in all, a satisfying experience - now to enjoy and learn even more about this special little auto :D

    Once I figure out how the MFD works I'll start checking the mileage!!

    If you press the Info button on the Steering Wheel (just below Map on the right side) if will bring up either the Energy (showing the flow of energy to/from the battery, etc) or the Consumption screen (showing the instantaneous and historic mpg in 5 min intervals). You can switch back and forth between the two screens using the Info button. You can also use the soft keys on the screen to switch back and forth, but the button on the steering wheel is more convenient and helps minimize fingerprints on the screen.

    Thanks! Our 04 Avalanche was black and, when cleaned up, was beaufitul - but, oh how dirty it could get with little effort!! I think the mag gray will be a little more forgiving with the dirt, but we'll see. Anyway, black, white or whatever, it is an amazing vehicle :D
