Update:

Prius received it's new petrol motor this week with 102,000 miles on it, and a 24,000m/2 year full warranty. Hendrick Toyota extended an additional service/maintenance contract to us too. They were very reasonable to work with and I feel that I received a fair deal.

The motor now sounds like the motor did pre-oil pan plug loss. I'd like to think that we've got another good 2 years... hopefully in time for the Gen IV to be out.

Thank you all for the comments and recommendations.

I'm back on the road, loading it with clean Ethanol-Free 91 Octane and CLEAN oil and enjoying 46 MPG again!

...keeping my fingers crossed.

Happy things worked out for you and the dealer was fair with there response. You should be good for another 100,000 miles of motoring with a little luck.

Yes, there is a bit of added solace with my former motor having 147,000 and this new one with 102,000. I can not quite feel like it's a 'new' vehicle, but I'm plenty happy with the outcome. Plus! I did not need to involve my Attorney!
