On the way there, I made a pit stop at a gas station to buy a bottle of champagne as a gift, hoping to start out a conversation with a stranger on the right foot. Power steering is electric and as a result we don’t need to check the power steering oil level as there isn’t any. Priuses can burn oil. He was surprised!
