As much as it sucks having to pay a lot for gas, it should've been know by everyone when they purchased the car. Someone told me, "if you can afford the car, you can afford the gas." I also use my Z as a DD.

Aren't Priuses more expensive than a civic or something, though? Or is that a work supplied vehicle?

Yes. I bought my prius for 22k. The civic lx would be like 15k.

18.5 gallons? The Z has a 19 gallon tank right? You waited as long as possible I see.

For the price of the Prius, you could have driven about 90,000 miles, assuming you only drive the Z in the city and get about 17MPG, going by the 4.189/gal.

I don't think gas prices justify a Prius as a DD very well, and I don't think it is a great snow car either.

Yep. I fill up once a month in my 370z.

True, but I do not want to put that much miles on my 370z. The current gas prices do justify driving a Prius. I get 50+mpg on that car. Plus I do not get paranoid about parking it anywhere like I am with my 370z. It's my grocery getter because I can't fit my bulk load of toilet paper and other household items into my Z. I fill up the Prius twice a month at $32 a tank. Lastly, I can't remember the last time I saw snow anywhere near Sacramento.

I remember my cousin actually couldn't fill up his tank all the way because gas pumps had dollar limits lol.
We had that issue here in Texas a few years back.. pumps would max out at $50!

Days like this I am glad I still have my civic even if I did not I have my bike 54 mpg on regular!!! Also have my convertible now.

Ouch. Well my daily driver is a Chevy 2500Hd diesel. I get about 12mpg on it. It cost over close to a $100 to fill it up. That's 3x a week. Thank goodness it's a company truck.

I have the 2500HD petrol and get 10-12mpg, would have thought the diesel did a bit better.

The Z is on 3 dots. I'm not looking forward to filling it up. So I'm driving my civic as much as possible right now. 35mpg!
