Too small as in too low to the ground? The Prius has huge interior volume.

My wager on the misfire is electrical. Spray the plug wires and coil(s) with water and see if you can force it to miss. Often you can see where a spark is escaping and grounding to the engine.

I'd personally never spend more than about $50 on TPMS since I can tell when a car handles poorly due to underinflation, and I check pressures whenever I rotate the tires.
