    With only a little over 9 gallon fuel capacity compared to the
    regular Prius being 11.9 gallons does the Prius C have a reserve
    like the regular Prius?

    Also it appears the regular Prius has a true capacity of over 13 gallons when filled to the top of the neck.

    So I wonder if the Prius C is the same so perhaps it has a true capacity somwhere around 11 gallons?

    Filling to the top of the neck is a no-no so I wouldn't call that a true capacity.

    Even getting 46 mpg with 9 gallons of fuel is over 400 miles a tank.
