My New Toyota Prius Update
My wife and I bought a new Toyota Prius just a few days more than a month ago. You can read the story of how we got it by clicking on any Toyota Prius link in this message. As you can see from reading the story, getting the car was a hassle...solved by a lovely lady named Michael (yes, Michael) Ruiz at Texas Toyota of Grapevine, Texas.
Anyway, we have put over 3,000 miles on the car in the 39 days we have had it, including a trip to Atlanta and Pensacola. I took it in to Texas Toyota of Grapevine for the first 3,000 mile oil change, and they paid for it.
We went by yesterday to pick up our plates (Dallas County is sloooooowwwww), and the ever lovely Ms. Michael Ruiz (her father wanted a boy) had them wash the car and fill the tank with gas (I think that was about 7 or 8 gallons) for free.
On our trip we averaged around 55 MPG, and in daily driving around Dallas, we are averaging just under 50 MPG...around 49.6, actually. Don't forget, by the way that these figures don't count the times the car automatically shuts off the engine at stoplights, in drive-thrus, etc. when your car would normally be idling, so we are actually getting just a little better than what the figures tell us.
We are pleased with the performance and fuel economy of our new Toyota Prius.
We also cannot say enough good things about Michael Ruiz and the other folks at Texas Toyota of Grapevine.
