Good question!firepa63 said:Now for the all important question ... how much of a discount did you give yourself?
I have been going to the club/gym for a swim almost every other day for the last 12 years. In Jan, right after NYears it becomes incredibly crowded. That lasts for about 2 months. In March the NYears resolution folks start to drop out, and by April the crowd is back to about normal. It is like clock-work.C.Rickey Hirose said:My New Year resolution is accomplished !
Now I'm going to the Gym to start the New Year Healthy driving my "new" Prius More on this topic after the work-out !
Hi Isabelle ! Thanks, Well about helping me count the "Money" I already have the "Digital" Money counter machine. You know the ones in T.V. movies,those guys in the "Illicit & Dangerous" business. counting the $100 bills !Isabelle said:You go C. Rickey. Salsa red, you devil. I really get a kick out of your
enthusiasm. And like I did for Tom, I would like
to volunteer to fly out and help you count the money
from all those 06's!.
And...if you keep dropping those pounds at the Gym,
your mileage will improve even further!
Congratulations

Oh Hi Pete ! Thank you again for beeing so patient awaiting for your 06 Prius. Glad that you are enjoying your new toy ! I'm ready to buy your Mazda Miata off your hand, just bring it in and we will cut you the check !petej said:Congratulations, Rickey. And thanks for enabling my New Year's resolution by delivering my 2006 Seaside Blue Prius [Package #7] yesterday afternoon. I'm still wading through the manuals documenting all this new technology -- GPS navigation, Bluetooth phone integration, a lovely AUX connector for my iPod, the rear-view camera... Maybe I'll spend the day in my driveway, leafing through the documentation and tapping on-screen buttons.
Oh Hi: Polar Bear ! No, actually I do not drive "Sedate" at all. I always drive with-in the traffic flow meaning, here in CA Freeways" everyone is "Cruising" at 15 mph over posted max speed. So I always set the "Cruise" to 10 mph over the limits but still slower than the "Others"An04Prius said:Yes it is different, Rickey, and I am worried about you. These are all signs that your pre-ownership enthusiasm is morphing into a clear case of addiction, in other words, you are acting like an "mpg junkie". Please review the below posting before going any further (you are already letting your appearance go...5 weeks without a haircut :shock: )C.Rickey Hirose said:.. were doing 75~80 mph. So I was just cruising with-in the flow of traffic. Started up ( Cold Engine ) Drove 5~6 miles before could go on ramp to I 680, A/C on and Raining day...
.. 13 miles on the trip meter. Glanced at the consumption screen and saw 48.9 MPG combined ! Wow I said, what will it have been if I had driven at speed limit of 65 mph ? Hmm, let me try the return trip home to see how I do !
cold engine drove 12 blocks to merge to I 680 this time I set the "Crise Control" again but can not endure the 65 mph ! People passing me right and left so I had to "Gunned it Down" and bring speed cruise up to 75 mph firm. Remembered that have had no hair cut for 5 weeks ! and saw.......
A "Whopping" 56.2 mpg combined ! is that possible ? the battery SOC bars were from right to left at 2.5 full ! Hmm intriguing .... More report later... It is a very different feeling.
