That's a lot of baby-sitting money! Good job.

Got 50.2 mpg on my trip from NY to Boston over the weekend. Worked out that it cost me just 3 gallons each way, or $12 which was even cheaper than the Fung Wah bus from Chinatown which is now up to $15 each way.

Love the way the seats fold down for carrying ladders, skis (and if I were as hip as Nords, a longboard)

Can you tell us if PriusChat has any really cool ideas? I've been interested in the new version with the big battery; the dream is to stick a solar or windmill on top of my garage and load that puppy up every night-- apparently it can go up to 30 miles on a full battery -- then just kick in with the gas engine after that. Getting off the gasoline thing could be really useful in the years ahead. My gas station is hand-writing in all the prices because their pricing kits didn't go to $4 per gallon. He said the new pricing kits are going up past $10 a gallon.
