Shhot.. When I took it from the dealer, the dealer was too cheap to put a full tank of gas, so I filled it up myself with 91 octane.. Next time, I will use 87.. Thanks guys...

I believe you got cheated out of a tank of gas. The factory sticker on every Prius we looked at included "Full tank of gas." It wasn't even part of the negotiations and filling it was listed on the pre-delivery check list as part of the vehicle check.

When I picked up my Prius the the gas tank wasn't full. I pointed it out to the dealership and they gave me a voucher for a fillup.

I've been pretty regularly going to Shell stations, as they accept Air Miles. The supposed benefits from Top Tier, who knows your guess is as good as mine.

For the Prius I run 87 octane, for the FJ the "V-Power" as the FJ recommends premium. It runs on regular, but the performance and mileage loss is enough that I might as well run premium in it.

They were supposed to give you a full tank of gas. Says so on the sticker price. I'd complain to Toyota about it, or go back to the dealership. And I'd probably be less inclined to take my car for service to that dealership. If they forgot to do that as part of the PDI, god knows what else they forgot to do.

I did not buy it new nor did I buy it from a Toyota Dealer. I boughtit at an independent dealer. Here in Socal, we pay a prenium for the carpool lane (HOV) stickers.. I paid $5k over the price of a new package 6 just for the stickers... Damn stickers...

Is that the same car that smelled like poop and had a very loose rear spoiler?
