    Hello!

    My 2013 Prius fills with aprox 10.5 Gallons, but around 9 gallons the gas pump nozzle starts to clicks off every 10 cents. It's super annoying!

    Is this normal?

    Thank you!

    Is the last fuel gauge pip flashing before you fill up? If not, then the 9-ish gallons is the nominal 'full' point, and the nozzle is clicking off to try to stop you from overfilling.
