I just filled up my tank for the 4th time since owning my prius. So far I've been very pleased with it. Because of the "how much gas is left at blinking bar" issue, we've been slowly pushing the mileage up and seeing how many miles we really have left with a safety margin.
My last tank I drove 460 miles, the computer said 50.1 MPG and the tank took 9.1 gallons, 50.5 MPG at the pump. On the other two tanks this has all been consistant. So we decided to push a little further maybe up to 10 gallons.
This tank the computer said 49.4 MPG and we drove 502 miles. I just got through putting in 12.4 gallons???????? I thought these tanks only held 11.9. That would also put my MPG at 40.4. WTF!
Has anyone else put in more than 11.9 gallons? Did this gas station rip me off?
:x
