I find irony in the name of the car company, especially in light of that story.

I've been very sleepy and briefly opened the wrong "filling" cover on my Prius plug in after pulling up on the wrong side of a pump island. Hard to imagine ignoring all the clues that you're doing it wrong.

I wonder how much fuel she pumped into the intake before the nozzle clicked off? I'm surprised it didn't hydrolock the pistons and prevent it from turning over in the first place.
