New car!

I have wanted a Prius since Ryan had one for work several years ago.  The problem is that he didn't like it, so away it went.  My excuse was that Reggie would be driving soon and we needed to have another car, so there was lots of time over the winter break, so I started looking.  The plug in Prius's in our area are the same price as the regular Prius, so I thought, why not go that route?  In California, you get a carpool pass if the car is considered an EV vehicle, but those stickers are only good for 3 years, so people are regularly unloading these cars.  I found one that was a screaming deal, but guess what, we were in Washington, so I told the guy we'd like to drive it if it was still available when we got back.  The posting was deleted the next day, so I sent him a not and he said he had a potential buyer.  They got all they way to the end of the transaction and he didn't have the title because he paid off the car and it was in transit.  I guess that was enough to spook the other buyer, so it was still available when we got back. 
You can't insure a car without a title, so it wasn't going to work for anyone, but he was hopeful that someone would buy it without the title.  He had no takers and we were first in line, so lucky us, we got it for $12,500!  It has a lot of miles (76,000), but is a 2015, so is super clean and feels really new. 
It has been super fun to drive.  I like to see how far I can go and how many miles to the gallon I can get!  It was a bit all over the place in the beginning because it didn't like EV mode (the guys NEVER used it and it doesn't like when the heat or air is on), but once I refilled the tank and figured it out, it seems to be working much better.  It didn't start with a full tank so it was really hard for me to estimate what kind of mileage I was getting and I was a bit disappointed and frustrated when the gas tank kept going down and I was using electric only.  When it dropped to 1/2 tank I decided to just fill it up and start over....it took a whole 3.7 gallons!!!  So far, I've driven 450 miles on this tank of gas and I have a half a tank left.
