    Oh that makes more sence I was thinking if it got below the 2 or 3 gallon mark it wouldn't start and that would be a pretty dumb design but what you two just said makes a lot more sence. I've never run our of gas, I actually don't like letting it go below a quarter tank. Unless someone stole my gas I think we can rule that out.

    Typical dealership stuff, blah blah blah they can't look at it until tomorrow morning I'll update then. (Apologies to anyone involved in a dealer. I've never had good experiences).

    I got an answer finaly. While trying to figure out what was wrong and why my prius wasn't starting, I cracked the service plug on the side of the hybrid battery/computer. That is the reason the dealer told me the car would not start. Which doesn't exactly explain why the car wouldn't start because it wouldn't start before I cracked it and as much as I tried to explain that to then they assured me that was the reason. So we will find out Wednesday or Thursday if that actually was the issue.

    I have service plug for sale for half price. My guess is you didn't slide it down
