    I have had my Prius about two weeks and gas mileage is around 40 . I checked tires today and they were all about 10 lbs light. I can feel the difference in the ride and hope to soon see a difference in the mpg! I am loving my car so far. Seats are a little hard and the car smells somewhat like a cat but outside of that it is great.

    Ten pounds light compared to the recommended 35? Were they at 25? That's just absurd.

    Glad your loving the car. After more than three years, I still love it.

    That is my fear. I am pretending it is the mildew of ac from not being on the outside air setting. I have put in the stuff to clear that up but it just keeps creeping back. I think I'll treat it with "cat-be-gone" or whatever it is called and then maybe have the carpets shampooed.
