    My wife is currently using super unleaded for her 350z. I'm looking forward to her driving the Prius when it comes. Can we fill it with just regular unleaded?

    Yes. The Prius is set up for 87 octane. Any higher is just wasting your money.

    Do not use the kind that is produced after eating your screen name!

    But yes, 87 octane regular unleaded (85 if you're in high country).
