What is the most gas put in for fill ups

08NWPrius · 12-04-2007, 11:54 PM

The most I have put in for the all fill ups,(so far 4), is 8.352 gallons. What is the most anyone has put in for a fill up?

My Prius was very thirsty one time and took over 9 gallons. Aside from that single instance though all my other fillups have been in the 7 to 8+ gallon range. I'm hoping the bladder loosens up a bit as time goes by. It'd be nice to have the full 11 gallons the manual says we have.

Usual fill up (when 2 pips are showing) consists of 7-8gallons with some 8.5ga fillups during the summer. My highest fillup ever was just over 9gallons but I had driven down to 1 pip for awhile.

I put in 10.214 gallons last June 8th. I was averaging 50.1 MPG for that quarter. On that particular tank, I went 473.9 miles, so the mileage was a bit low, but that's why I do 4-tank and 10-tank rolling averages. In general, I seem to put in between 7 and 9 gallons. Last fill-up was only 6.086 gallons and I went 304.2 miles. I could go on, but it's doubtful you've even read this far...

I put in about 12 gallons when a pump failed to automatically shut off one time. Then it came squirting out on the ground.

Filled up 7 times so far, the pump read these amounts:

9.091
9.718
10.042
10.413
9.789
9.871
8.830

I typically fill up after the light starts flashing and always stop pumping when the pump shuts off automatically.

So far (16 fills), my highest was 10.8 @88 degF. I usually fill up at one or two pips. My last one with one flashing pip took 9.9 @34degF.

9.4 gal. I think I was down to one pip on the gauge.

After over 100 tanks, three have been more than 11, all of which were times I darn near ran out of gas on the interstate.

11.49
11.65
11.73 (Did actually run out of gas on this one, limped to a gas station on the battery).

Eight tanks were over 10, with that making 90 or so between 7-9.5. Usually try to fill up on the last pip and let the pump run until it clicks off the first time.
