Oh my gosh YES I really enjoy this car! Still love my Carmine, lol. And Psst! It's only 2 and a half years, ha ha haaa. That half year is important to youngsters you know?

The mileage is pretty consistent at 48.2. It has a button you can reset at each refill OR if you never touch it, it shows the mileage for the life of the car. Lucky for me, I had read about this on the Prius Chat forum during that LONG wait for the car to arrive, so I have NEVER reset the button. It has varied from time to time, but mostly is at 48.2. Not bad!

Way back when, my very first service, I took it in to the Dealer. They tried to charge me for a gear adjustment - the Prius doesn't HAVE gears! (Again, I knew this from the Forum). There was something else, I forget now. I was fuming, even though I had read this was quite common w/ the dealers, to over charge, charge for stuff not done, or that wasn't needed at that time. The local garage up the street, meanwhile, had sent 2 of its 3 mechanics to the training for the Prius, so now I just go there.

No matter what type of car you have, I highly recommend the Forum for YOUR make, model and year. It is amazing the things the "Car Guys" and Gals learn and pass on!
