    10,000 miles later, it will still feel new to you. There's lots to look forward to. I'm having a blast with mine.

    The variety of driving experiences you'll encounter will reveal just how clever the system really is.

    Just normal gas miliage is insane. Add in the extra we get from a charge and this car is really impressive. I went from spending $200 a month to drive 600 miles to spending about $30 in gas and $15 in electric.

    I am commuting 75 miles one way to work. After my payment to TFS and geico, my overall budget went down.

    Just for correctness with your Prius Plug, your only spending $15 a month on electricity? Are you charging the auto every night for the commute the next day? How long is each full charge? Our electricity bill here in Phoenix varies from $90 in the winter to $200-300 in the summer. Most of us drive 300 miles a wk or more so the electricity bill will be impacted.

    I figured that it costs me 15 cents to "fill" it at home and I get it free at work in the evening.

    When no one's looking? :D That's all they have to see at work, an extension cord going out to my car.
