By motor, do you mean electric or gas motor? Edmunds.com is still standing by thier source that says the 2009 will be a 1.5L ICE, contrary the the widely rumored belief that it will be 1.8L. I for one, hope Edmunds is right. Horse Power lust is just digging us deeper in this ditch.

I say keep the bladders in the Prius, but here are the common complaints.
1) Makes gas gauge inaccurate.
2) Makes fill ups inaccurate, which makes it hard to do pen-and-paper MPG calculations.
3) Prius'es have been known (rarely) to Vomit gas because of back pressure from the bladder.
4) Overfilling can (rarely) cause damage to Evap hardware requiring a new tank.
