More bars!

Playing around with the Prius today, the display showed main battery half full (4-5 bars). Last time I checked it was only one or two bars. Huh? I'm happy because the car has now been sitting for two and a half months and I'm worried about the main battery getting too low. Seems OK so far. Outside temp is a lot colder.

Fuel gauge shows one blinking bar. I added about two gallons but it hasn't changed. I will probably add some more to see if it changes. It is on a slight downslope.

It has the best stock stereo of any car I've ever owned.
