I heard a good one at a Toyota / Chevy dealer Saturday. While I was waiting
my turn in service, I asked the guy behind me if he liked his Toyota Prius,
He said he loves it but it had an issue that has now been fixed on newer
models. His gas tank is made of steel and has an o-ring type of seal. He
used to be able to put 10 gallons of gas in his car but his gas tank has
shrunk to hold about 8.7 gallons now. A loss of 1.3 gallons of capacity...
