Default Re: Welcome to the Southeast Forum! New Members Check In Here!

I, I'm PriusMike, checking in as a new member / subscriber, from Clearwater FL. Got my new Prius Package #3 three days ago. It's quite a car, but it will take a while getting used to the motor stopping when the car stops.

I have a lot of questions, like where can I download the Shop Manual (the big thick book that shows EVERYTHING.) I already have a new Genetex Autodimming Mirror with Compass, but have seen posts elsewhere that there may be problems with installations where there is the side curtain airbag. And third question is why I'm "only" getting about 45 mpg. I'm attributing it to always having the headlights on for safety (wife's request), and running the AC all the time -- with the high humidity here, it must use a lot of energy just dehumidifying the air (so will see if using recirculation instead of outside air refresh makes a difference.

Glad to be in the group, and look forward to learning lots from you all by sharing info.
