Nw 2016 LC -19 gallon tank? Thought it was 24.6 gallons?>

FWIW my 80 does this also, low fuel light = about 5 gallons remaining. When I got the 200 and it exhibited the same behavior I didn't give it much thought.

Those that have had a 100, did it do this as well?

Thanks but the range on the onboard computer said I had 12 miles left?
Normal?

Yes, it is normal. Read the manual, this is discussed the in manual -- when the gauge shows empty, you still have ~4 gallons reserve.

Mine do it too, all the LC200s I have had do the same thing. You have about 4-6 gal left depending on how you typically fill your vehicle. Ie if you top off like I do and squeeze an extra gal or two in the tank then it would be perceivably that I had only 4 gal left when I fill up. If you quit at the first click, you might think you had 6 gal left.

It was once explained to me that the Cruising range is just that, if it is at 0 you don't really want to set out on a long cruise in it. That it is not spelling out distance to empty it saying cruising range. Meaning safe cruising range. I do agree with others I wish it would just give me as true a DTE as it could so I could drive more at ease on those last few gallons.

It was also mentioned before that a lot of these are sold all over the world where fuel stations might be a little more scarce then here in the states, and that could be in part the reason for Toyota's ultra conservative approach with this.

I am use to it after 4 of them, but it is still one of my only real irritating gripes about the 200s.

My 200 does it
