    Does 0 mean literally fumes or are there usually a little reserve past this point. Close call today on my way home from work.

    I don't know but I wouldn't try and hit 100,000 miles on the odometer without a fill up.

    Let's see. How should I say this? Let's try this. Toyota has to have built in fuel quantity CONTINGENCY to cover ALL levels of smarts.

    Yep, that’s the Tundra unit of measurement. It translates to roughly 26 US fluid gallons.
