    My dealership is holding one of these later this month. Anyone ever attended one? Is there any value, other than free hors d'oeuvres? It seems unlikely I'll get better advice on fuel economy than here!

    "Welcome to the Toyota Family...

    It is important to meet your "highly trained technicians" as at 30,000 miles you may have to talk them into changing your Transaxle fluid with ATF WS.

    First, welcome and congratulations on your new purchase.

    Quite a few on here have attended these events and found it quite useful.

    Just got an invite from my Toyota dealer scheduled for this week. About the only value I see out of it is the Free car wash and the stale donuts. Other than that, they might become urked when I tell them I have a scan guage connected to the OBDII port and I have my tires jacked up beyond the pressure suggested by Toyota on the door jam. The new Alpine DVD in place won't help... In regards to the car questions, their probably going to quote me passages directly from the car manual. I think I will pass....
