    :cheers: :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    All my 2 stroke stuff is Stihl - 2 saws & leaf blower. When i bought my last saw I picked up a 6 pack of their synthetic oil & stabilizer. I'm down to two left. I only gave a 1 gallon gas can for that. Once those are gone, I'm seriously considering the premixed Stihl version.

    My trimmer and blower run so much better on the TF. I gave up on mixing a couple years ago. I highly recommend it or Stihl's version....which I'm sure is good. Not sure about the price though. TF is around $5-$6 a can. Might be cheaper than Stihl.

    Great Intel....I'll definitely look into it. Also thinking it would be way easier for transporting...toss it in milk crate or something.

    Yep. She loves the hell out of it. I feel like it's going to scrape the skin off my ass as we got down the road.

    Yeah...wife likes her's too. Other than some of the interior bits feeling a little cheap, I actually can't complain about it much. The gas mileage....geez....I don't have to tell you. She averages over 40 mpg in mostly stop-and-go city driving. Road trips always net 50 mpg with the 4 of us at 70 mph. :thumbsup:

    I don't drive it too much. But when I do, I ways activate power mode. Love surprising people at stoplights. :D

    The first 2 generations gave the Prius the rep of being sluggish. But the gen 3 is very spry in power mode. With it on the traction battery sends all that extra juice to the wheels for great torque. Nobody expects it. :D

    That's because they dumped the 1.5 for th 1.8, and that engine is Toyota's bread and butter. I had it in my old Corolla, and it was unkillable. The balance in the Gen 3 Prius seemed perfect, and from what I understand it carried even more into Gen 4.

    Not just the 1.8 engine, but the traction motor and battery in the 3rd gens are stronger than gens 1 and 2.
