What's the most fuel you've put in your 3 door ?
I was on a 4wd track today showing 70 klm range remaining with the fuel gauge just above "E", Orange light had come on a little while before. Wasn't too worried, nearing the end of track and fuel only 20 klm down the road once I exited the track. Suddenly my range dropped from 69 remaining to zero. Re inflated the tyres and cruised at 70 kph with fingers crossed to the nearest garage (about 25 klm from where the range said "Zero".
I filled it 'til diesel was sitting at the top of the filler pipe and I only took 76 litres. Even gave it a good shake to see if it settled but it only dropped a couple of inches down the neck.
What gives ? This means I had at least 10 litres remaining (according to book capacity) after driving 25 klm from when my range said "Zero". Potentially a range of 125 klm.
Has Toyota been telling big fibs about the tank capacity or is the "range" computation for entertainment purposes only ?
Thanks..........
