Fuel reserve .


Recommended Posts

I hit reserve with about 3.6  (correction about 3.8-3.9 indicated) indicated gallons being used, but I can put in ~4.0 at the pump (the gauge is optimistic). So reserve comes on after about 4 gallons used from a completely full tank.

It's a 4.8 gal tank. Whether or not it holds a full 4.8 is another story.

I quit trying to figure out the tank capacity and reserve, and just make sure I fill up my 2015 FJ 09 at 200 miles or less. I always have at least 1/2 gallon left in the tank, based on gallons filled and stated capacity of the tank.

And it's easy enough to reset my trip meter when I get gas. (it's actually a habit now)

Not quite on my 09.

I see a 10% difference in mileage per tank depending on my speed.  For example....

Running at 75-80 mph on the interstate (+5k RPM)  i get 45 mpg and 180 miles per tank. 

At a more leisurely pace I will pull 50 mpg and 200 miles per tank.

In addition to watching mileage I need to be mindful of speed and distance.

I regularly check the CRNT Fuel function for a quick view of how much the engine is drinking.
