It won't show on the display, but it will still start. I ran out of gas
once, and the car started right up after adding two gallons of gas.

Did it have persistent hybrid warnings after you got it going again?

No. What did bug me, though, was that I could have made it to the next
gas station on the electric motor had I know it was there. Instead, I
had to wait two or three hours for the road-service truck to arrive with
the gas.

I wonder if the nav lady would have found that gas station. If it were me,
and had she found it, I'd quit calling her "stupid" after each voice
command.

Thanks. I knew it wouldn't show up but I didn't know it would start
anyway. That's good news (hopefully I won't need that information,
though...) ;)
