HiHy Data starting to come in Now!!

i wonder if they are using that blasted bladder sytem in this car too. It's good for enviromental reasons but is fustrating if you want to just drive the car and expect x amount of fuel left because the guage tells you so.

 

great pics Evan...

as far as the bladder issue, i prefer the benefits to the environment over the additional range of the vehicle that might be available without the bladder

 

I just received that email from Toyota.
