Hi All. My fuel tank experience is as follows and this is on a 2019 Rav4 Hybrid XSE. Regardless of how much fuel is left when I fill up, with careful 'feathering' of the gas nozzle, I have been able to fill it with an amount of fuel that results in a displayed distance till empty of 517-520 miles. The needle is pegged at the top end. At 40mpg which I have been able to achieve regularly, that's about 12-13gals. When I turn off the engine the fuel gauge needle drops below the zero mark, which is where is usually is when the car tells me I'm empty. I don't have the guts to keep driving so I don't know how far you can go beyond this, but I suspect that the needle will drop further until the tank is actually empty and there is a comment to this effect in the manual. One day when the wife is not with me I'll take a 5 gal tank with me and drive till only electric works!

Regards
