    We bought a 2010 Prius IV this past weekend for my wife. Traded her 1999 Corolla with 246,000 miles on it. She loves it so far.

    Welcome to PriusChat and congratulations on your purchase. Take the time to read the Owner's manuals thoroughly and just drive the car at first to get used to all of its many features. Then come back here and search for additional info or questions. There is a lot of good information and knowledgeable people on this site.

    It was a rental, we drove it for a weekend before we bought one. We took the routes that she drives to and from work. We wanted to test one without a sales person along, and see the mileage it would get on her everyday trip. The rental had 16k miles on it. Not sure how accurate the average mpg the display shows is, but combination country roads and interstate we were getting 56.4 mpg. That sold my wife on the spot. She drives 72 miles round trip per day. The one we bought shows 48.6 mpg on 1st tank, it has about 300 miles on,it so far.
