I've been running around in a Prius rental now for two weeks. I had pump shock yesterday when I filled up the 10 gallon tank and it still cost $31.
Could be worse. I could be back in Texas having to fill my Explorer.

My biggest complaint on the Prius is the poor dash arrangement. Many a times I've hit the wiper switch reaching for the on/off button to start the car. Sometimes at a light, there's a shake when the gas engine turns over to the battery. The rear view has such a blind spot, there is a back up camera and monitor screen on the dash. Don't get me going on the reverse beeper. It sounds like a garbage truck backing up. Still, the little car has the power to accelerate when needed.
