Tagged: 0 Thread(s). Quoted: 0 Post(s). The Prius gas tank is fitted with an internal bladder to prevent gas fumes from leaking into the air. It does create the problem of inconsistent gasoline fill-ups. 1 - The back pressure from the tank can cause early shutoff of the nossle. (don't overfill as gasoline can spurt out due to bladder pressure). 2 - In cold weather, the bladder gets stiff reducing the effective tank capacity. As was stated before the nominal tank capacity is 11.9 gallons.
The 2016 Toyota Prius actually has two separate versions, when it comes to gas-mileage ratings. Most Prius models this year are rated at 52 mpg combined (54 mpg city, 50 mpg highway). But the 2016 Toyota Prius Eco, which is essentially a base model fitted with a lithium-ion battery pack that's smaller and lighter than the old-school nickel-metal-hydride pack in the entry-level Prius Two model, does better than that.
