YouTube fill up video

brad34695 · 06-09-2007, 09:22 AM

I recently posted a video on YouTube to show non-hybrid car owners my personal experiences of how many miles I get on a tank, and how much it costs to fill up that tank in my area. Just thought I would share.

You may want to change your credit card/bank account PIN number now that you showed everyone what it is. Or was that your zipcode

I truly apperciate your concern, but how would they know my CC #?

Brad, That was EXCELLENT...............

My Wife works in Tampa, we live in Plant City (about 25 miles East of Tampa, near Polk County Line). We just purchased a brand new 2007 Toyota Prius Touring, Silver Pine Mica w/ Pkg. 5, gray (cloth) interior from Toyota of Tampa Bay (Fletcher Avenue) about three weeks ago (under 900 miles @ today) !!

We love it.....................

BTW- I think we are going for our SECOND "gas fill-up" sometime this weekend............
(and we do not actually let it go down below TWO bars......... paranoid I guess ??)

great video... but you only got 47 mpg.... should have recorded one where the pump mileage would be higher. either way, i think the point is made. my father in law commutes about 20 miles one way, pays $55 a week for gas and other than an occasional boat trip to the sound (we live right next to it so no long trips involved) he doesnt drive his truck anywhere.

well we took them out to dinner one day, stopped at Costco, loaded up $28 worth, advised them that that 530 miles in the PAST TWO WEEKS just seemed to fly by...

for some reason, he is now shopping for a good used Prius at a decent price. i told him as long as gas is north of $3 (its about $3.15 here, was $3.45 for memorial day) he will pay nearly new price for a used vehicle. after two weeks of looking, he has agreed so now is probably getting a 2008.

that will be the 4th close friend or family member who has been converted by me.

Yeah, it was a great video, but boy was I nervous when you were "topping-off." I keep hearing that it's a no-no since the bladder can belch/spit fuel back up.

We fill up at about halfway now - it keeps the total around $20.00-25.00 usually.

Thanks for posting the vid! Maybe now I can get some of my friends to seriously consider buying a hybrid.

Great video! I was concerned also when we saw you put in your PIN. Never know about people these days. I would feel better if you changed your PIN!

I guess I had better. I don't know how someone could get my CC# from the video, but being naive I never even thought about it. Thanks for the props!!
