    I've driven about 15 miles past 0 range remaining. Last bar still remained illuminated, have never seen it flash. It took 10.5 gallons. Usually I run it down to 10 miles or less and fill it up, usually takes right at 10 gallons. I suspect that it really is a 12 gallon tank, but Toyota doesn't want you to run it down to actually empty as the last 2 gallons keeps the pump cool.

    76.5 mpg (US) displayed, corresponds to 3 liters per 100 kms: I’d concur, not sustainable.

    roll down a hill, flatbed it back to top, repeat.
