    On the fuel tank or on the NAV?
    The fuel range doesn't have a miles to empty, the NAV does have this.

    Unless the Prius has been changed for '08, I can confirm that there is no "estimated miles remaining" available.

    In fact, if you do a search on "guess gauge" you should be able to understand why this function wouldn't be reliable on the Prius in all likelyhood. Its very important to fill the tank ASAP when the last 'pip' starts blinking to signal low fuel because the amount of fuel actually left may be good for a hundred miles or just a couple.
