Driving around town this weekend looking at some Boulder real estate I noticed that these Prius hybrids are everywhere. I’m pretty sure that those other drivers are having much the same experience with their hybrids that I am. Namely, I’m loving it.

Toyota has really knocked the ball out of the park with the 07′ Prius. The interior continues to surprise me and my clients with it’s roominess and comfort…I don’t even like driving my wife’s Acura any more because I’ve gotten spoiled by the ergonomics of the Prius.

The guys at Mountain States Toyota told me not to really start paying attention to the gas mileage until the car was fully broken in–sometime around 5k. But over the first 2200 miles I’ve put on this car I’m getting 48.5 mpg. And it keeps going up week by week. I’m going to reset the odometer at 3k and see what I’m really getting for mileage.

When I saw the movies Too Hot Not To Handle, and then Who Killed The Electric Car, I knew I wanted to do my little part for our environment by creating a company that conserves on every level possible. The decision to go with a hybrid for our official company car was an easy choice given the enormity of the problem we face, but I never expected to really enjoy driving the thing.
