Just another quick update today:

I parked nose out at Target today; when I returned to the Prius, there was a red Honda Accord hybrid (HAH) parked behind me.  I mention this because I have seen so few HAHs in the wild.  I will explain why I park the way I do in a future article.  I have also found the taller hills here in Columbia make it much easier to achieve and maintain high fuel economy numbers than the really sort height, long length hills in Gainesville.  Today I tried out a new procedure when it comes to the first five minutes of operation after reading a post on Prius Online.  When I tried the technique yesterday, I was less than thrilled, so I modified it a bit and the results were impressive, even though I climbed a monster set of hills during the warm-up.

I also want  to point out that I am not happy with the service I have received while on the SunCom network, there were two incidents in less than a week.  First, they would not let me dial 1800-GOOG-411, and today they did not let me connect to the internet from my T-Mobile Wing to check my bank balance.  I got the message "connection refused by the remote party" without the Edge/GSM connection never being established, for any site I tried.  Although when I roam onto the AT&T network, they provide the level of service that T-Mobile has trained me to expect.
That is all I have for now.
