I sold the 2012 Prius to a friend and one day she called saying it wouldn't start. I told her to put gas in it, and she said she did. I drove 90 minutes with a gas can, put about a gallon in, and it started right up.

It seems the Prius needs some threshold amount to start back up again.


Still miss the Prius. It's a marvel of technology.
