    welcome and congrats! you have a 12 gallon gas tank, but the warning sounds after about 10 gallons. so depending on your average mpg's, i would guess it goes between 450 and 550 miles.
    i wouldn't risk using the other two gallons, except in emergencies. all the best!(y)

    Congratulations on your purchase!

    The best suggestions I can make are to be patient, take your time and make sure you read through this forum, especially the threads that are stuck at the top of each section. They contain a lot of very valuable information on the care and maintenance of a Prius. Continue to ask questions as the people here are extremely helpful. The owner's manual is a must-read as well. If you don't have it it is available online.

    Other than that, enjoy the car!
