Prius does have a few surprises. Sit in the thing on the dealer's lot
for a half-hour reading the basic sections of the Owner's Manual, and
finish reading it when you get home. Note especially the break-in
period recommendations.
When you pick up the car take a copy of the pick up checklist:
http://www.vfaq.net/docs/pickup_checklist.html
It was written for the 2004 but most (all?) of the differences between
an '04 and an '08 are invisible with respect to the checklist.
Remember that when the last pip on the gas gauge starts to flash, buy
gas immediately. Because of the fuel tank internal bladder you cannot
accurately estimate how much gas ought to remain based on how much you
put in at the last fill and how far you've driven since then.
Follow the Scheduled Maintenance Guide. More service is not required
and will cost you money. Less can damage the car.
