As two semi-swarmy automated messages from Toyota (one from the local dealer and one from the regional corporate manager) have reminded me (not that I needed reminding), it has been a year, to date, since I purchased my Prius. Even if gas prices were not ridiculously high, I would still be in the honeymoon phase with this car. My blog gets the most google hits (by far) from "Prius+seaside+pearl," which brings up this post. So to all of you Prius googlers: buy one, you'll love the quiet engine, the gas savings, and the driving comfort you'll get in this car.

Sigh. I am trying to persuade the Beloved. I am TRYING.
DO YOU HEAR THAT, HONEY? BUY US A PRIUS!
Ahem. Sorry.
Well, I'd circumvent that altogether! Just go get your own--carmax probably has used ones; you can search their stock on line. Not bad interest rates either, that's where we got The Historian's latest car.
Hey I thought you promised a year's worth of gas receipt prices so we can have EVIDENCE of the savings!?
Right you are; so here are the goods*
Car has 4089 miles on it today.
Total gas costs between 9/10/07 and 6/13/08: **$306.10.
[Repeat $306.10.]
City driving costs: approx .07/mi.
*tank was full when purchased and I cannot find receipt for February and I feel certain that I filled up sometime between the January 2 and March 21 dates for which I have receipts, so I added $30.00 to the total (a fair estimate of that month's cost).
**2 impt. notes: I didn't drive much between 7/10 and late August when school started, and I've got half a tank left right now. On average, I fill up about once a month during the school year, once every month and a half when not driving to campus daily.
Thanks for the scoop!!!
Very very cool.
I'm jealous.
We got the wherewithal for one car in this family right now...though I hope in a year or two to change that. Cross fingers.
(and I want a gps)
Gotcha!
RE: wherewithalls--check out the AAA job site. I was looking at it just now and saw something right up your alley. Amazingly so in fact! But you'd be back East Coasting...
Ooh, that sounds lovely...but I think we're happy right here. I don't ever see myself going back East, save for visits to the Doting Grandparents.
