Just thought of a saying for a bumper sticker (might already be out there) "If you're looking for a gas station....don't follow me"

Although the truth of the matter is because the Prius has such a tiny gas tank, I visit the gas station to fill up almost as often, if not just as often, as I did with my 11-year old Nissan Sentra. I'm getting maybe 30-40% better mileage (I have a lengthy freeway commute and I'm always running late for work), but the fuel tank seems to be about that much smaller.

Why do I still have to fill up as much as the Camry? I told her because the Camry has 17 gals compared to the Prius's 10 (my average fill-ups for either car). I sure hope Toyota does not give us a 5 gallon tank when they make their 113 MPG next gen Prius. I want a 1500 mile tank! I want 12 fill-ups a year!

The only way this won't work would be if I start driving more. which, given how much fun the car is to drive, might happen I suppose
