Federal Authorities Join State Police In Extensive Limo Crash Probe
10/19 update: The deepening investigation is going on two weeks as accident examiners work toward a preliminary cause report.
BLADDER CONTROL: Ewwww, that's a photo of a Prius bladder. I never knew the Toyota Prius had something called a fuel bladder. But then I never knew the Prius could be called a limo either.
The bladder appears to have caused a few problems. In the zeal to reduce hybdrocarbon emissions, Toyota designed a collapsible fuel bladder that recedes as the car consumes gas. Except, the bladder wouldn't always stretch back at fill-up nor did it register correctly on the fuel gauge.
Not very Depends-able.
Now the third generation heavenly hybrid will have a GAS TANK like all other vehicles. Better to have gas problems than bladder problems?
Anyway, it must be frustrating if an operator is handling multiple runs with a Prius and can't depend on a reliable fuel range estimate. But then, again, why is the Prius a livery sedan? -- M.R.

| about 10 years agoNot everyone who needs a ride to the airport needs a "livery" vehicle either. Many residential customers simply like the idea of a car that saves them a little bit money. Corporate customers, however, may have a hard time absorbing the idea of replacing a lincoln with a prius, especially when with a client.There definitely is a niche for Prius, especially during these tough times.
