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 preset data includes fuel cost per gallon and a miles-per-gallon average. One big misconception about Prius is that its drivers have to sacrifice performance for efficiency and eco-sensitivity. In fact, Prius goes from 0-60 mph in just 9.8 seconds.
