I filled up the Prius's tank last Saturday. The fuel gauge has 10 little squares on it. I'd been driving for a while with only two squares left, so I figured I better fill it. I put 8 gallons in it. The tank is supposed to be a 12 gallon tank. Let's see, two divided by 10 is one-fifth, one-fifth of 12 gallons is 2.4 gallons, which means I should have been putting almost 10 gallons into the tank.
So now I've been driving since Saturday, and the fuel gauge hasn't budged from full. Until today, after driving about 70 miles. Let's see, 70 miles, one-tenth of a tank, that's 70 miles divided by 1.2 gallons... my goodness such mileage! NOT. The fuel meter is obviously just there for show, or to display pretty lights, or something.
On the plus side, the running MPG calculation automatically reset itself when I filled up. Very clever.
