Octane requirement for 2010 Prius by glouderback

Has anyone else noticed that the manual specifies 88 octane gas? Regular around here is 87 octane. This 88 octane requirement means putting in more expensive fuel. I am surprised I haven't seen other comments about this.

Yes, you are correct.
 
Bob Wilson who posts here and elsewhere did a trial with his brand new '10 and intentionally ran it out of gas 2 or 3 times to test what the reserve was. It's 2 gal +/- 0.1 gal or so.
 
So yes when the indicator comes on you're not dead in the water, you can drive about 100 mi. But do so at your own risk. That's from someone who's run out of gas 6 times in his 05 Prius...

It's been well documented on other sites and verified by the Prius Team that the 88 Octane was a typo.

Assuming you have Remote Start installed as an option (about $500), press the remote lock button twice quickly, then a third time for 3 second...presto, the car is "ready", and the air or heat will go on if set. The car will turn off and need to be restarted normally when you open the door and take the drive's seat.

I have a IV and mine shows the same thing. I dont think it count the mileage for the 2 gal in the bladder. so a full tank will shows mileage range of 500 - 550 miles instead of 600+ miles for 11.9 gal tank.
I also tried driving in the ECO mode this tank and so far I have been getting 55 mpg instead of 50 mpg when drives in normal mode.

I had that before and there is away to turn that off. i believe it is under setting, then navigation, then it is called something like "tracking your route" or something like that. you can turn that off.

Thanks for the info. They made that typo throughout the entire manual.
