I have been driving a Gen 2 for nearly four years and 90K miles. I have passed (and been passed by) many G2 - and G3s, Cs, and Vs, in that time and distance. Yesterday was the first time I've ever seen a G2 on the shoulder of an Interstate with its hood raised (this was at about 3 PM EST). If I hadn't been in a hurry (and afraid to approach a stranger) I might have stopped to ask the dude what had happened to his Prius. I was also curious how many miles his Prius had accumulated. I went past him too quickly (LOL!) to be able to tell if it was an older or newer G2 That's how reliable the G2 has been, even though a breakdown is inevitable for all G2 owners who take the last toke off of theirs. I'm - ahem - still smokin' mine and hope to take that last drag too. And now, here's Neil, who captured my feelings for my G2 perfectly - even though it clearly wasn't his intention to be THAT specific. We've been through some things together With trunks of memories still to come We found things to do in stormy weather Long may you run. Long may you run. Long may you run. Although these changes have come With your chrome heart shining in the sun Long may you run.
As you know, the standard dash gauges are few and far between on G2s. You get velocity and fuel level. I've only run out of gas once, more than 30 years ago. When I did, I knew it and didn't need to check under the bonnet to determine why my "vette" stopped. It's possible that the combination meter died on the dude's car. More reason to be extra vigilant about fuel level in that case.
I thought it was 11.0? Just put 10.2gal into ours today, was the most we'd ever put in. And the Add Fuel light had just come on right as we pulled into the station, too. Normally we can only put in about 8.5 when the Add Fuel light has come on.
