Friends: 0 |  CNN.com Article - Guy fills Prius for $43 $100 fill-ups arrive at gas pumps - CNN.com Does not make sense, did he run out of gas, and fill it with premium? Seems fishy. |

Friends: 0 | Re: CNN.com Article - Guy fills Prius for $43 and to think...I would be close to one of those 100 fill-ups had I not sold my 2004 Crew Cab a couple of months ago. It is unreal. I cannot wait to close the deal on my Prius...I will take 43 over 100 any day! At 4.00 a gallon and a bladder of 11.9 (give or take) 43 probably is about right...if my math is right. |

Still setting around $30 per tank here, but haven't fill up since it jumped the 25 cents or so the last couple of weeks. | |

Friends: 4 | Re: CNN.com Article - Guy fills Prius for $43 We were super broke the last few weeks, so when the last pip started flashing all I could do was put in $20. It bought me ~6.1 gallons at ~$3.28. I ended up making it 348 miles over the next week and a half before the last pip started blinking the night before pay-day  I love my Prius  Rob |

Friends: 0 | Re: CNN.com Article - Guy fills Prius for $43 JMO, but I don't think that the Prius is "pint sized". A Golf is pint sized and a tall boy is pint sized, but not a Prius. ~buttster Last edited by excuseMeButt; 04-23-2008 at 10:56 PM. |
