    Hi All,

    I'm new to Priuschat. I have a 2001 Prius and will be getting a new 2006 in the next few weeks. My 2001 is going strong and my wife wants it. So that gives me the 2006 with all the bells and whistles. A nice Driftwood pearl without leather.

    I’ve been perusing around this site for about a month now. I see that the 2004-2006 now has a maintenance light at 5k? The 2001 did not.

    I usually change my oil on my own at about 6,500.

    I put on 110 miles a day to and from work and in the summer I get between 50 and 53 mpg with my 2001. I expect to be getting the same if not better mpg with the 2006.

    Good Luck

    How many miles on the 01; any problems with it?

    Welcome to PriusChat!

    Did you buy the '01 new? Has it needed repairs?

    Yes, if you've gotten 50 with the '01, you should get about 3-5 MPG more with the '06. I also had an '01 and an '02, and actually liked the dash better on those than on my '04 and '06. I also liked the spaceshippy little shifter. :)

    I'm from Utica/Syracuse, BTW.
