i made a mistake today and I guess, actually ran out of gas. Yes, I've only owned the car for 2 weeks. but my dealer did not tell me that if the last square is blinking, to run to a gas station! So i didn't - but my tripometer said 300 miles and mileage was 42mpg, so how could i have run out?
My dealer says the car can stop functioning even if there's gas left.
So, i know this was my mistake, but at 300 miles?? this seems incredibly low to be running out of gas - and my last bar was blinking for about 5 miles, not 35 like everyone else has said.
My Prius is now at the dealer having it's battery recharged and tank refilled. I am none too happy, of course...
Any insight welcomed--
Anne
