In Norway, where I live, the warranty is 8 years.

I must say I am pleased with that, as it covers all of the parts related to the hybrid system, and I am not planning to keep the car for more than 5 or perhaps 6 years. Also, the warranty of any other car over here is 3 years...

How does one know if their Prius is equipped with a California Certified Emission Control System? I live in NY and bought my car last week.

Page six of my Prius Owner's Warranty Information booklet states the following about the 10 year 150,000 warranty for the Hybrid Vehicle Battery:

"Also applies to Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont vehicles equipped with a California Certified Emission Control System. Vehicles covered by this warranty are also covered by the Federal Emission Control Warranty."

Within the US (at least), all Prius have the same emissions control. But the content of sulfur in fuel varies widely. Prius' emissions are higher when drinking sulfur, and (just maybe) the catalysts or oxygen sensors will have a shorter life.

Same car, different diet, potentially different results after 100k miles.

Reductions in fuel sulfur have already been regulated, but there seems to be some foot-dragging in getting it implemented. Plus a distinct lack of information on the progress of the program!

PS: Congrats on new Prius.
