    I actually ran out of gas on a 2018 with the 38 gal tank literally on my drive home from purchasing it.. Why? Because some idiot on here said I had a 10 gallon reserve not 6 after the light comes on. I was dumb enough and exhausted enough from drivng 15 hours to believe him.. Both tanks have 6 gallon reserves.. FYI the truck took 37.7 gallons on fill up so not sure what you're saying..

    side note.. I drove my accord down and then got a Uhaul dolly to tow the accord back with the new truck... Only after sitting for an hour and half waiting for AAA did my dumb ass realize I could just take my car off the hauler and go drive and get gas 5 miles away!!! Thats how dumb and wired I was from driving 30 hours out of 38.. Still ashamed of my stupidity but pretty funny

    Maybe Toyota should do a dual 18 gallon tank configuration using inverted trapezoid shapes for tanks?

    Or maybe the tank could pivot so going up/down hill don't matter? :notsure:

    Perfect. Each 18 gallon tank with a 16 gallon reserve too so you don't run out of gas...........

    I read it was more around an 8 gallon reserve. But everyone’s fuel gauge will be slightly different. I’ve always been tempted to try to see how far I could go. When my fuel light comes on and I fill up. It takes between 19 and 20 gallons. Obviously I have the 26 gallon tank. I would only assume it would have to be a larger margin with a bigger tank. That’s assuming they use the same fuel pump and float sensor. It would have to have more reserve fuel being that the tank is longer.

    As soon as I hit 1/4 tank left I fill up. Solves all of the guess work.

    Bottom line..............our gauges are accurate. The way Toyota intended.............although it can be a bit of a pain for those owners who like to run their tanks down to true empty which is never a good idea.

    Similar here. The majority of my trips are under 50 miles, so when I get close to 50 mile range left, I fill up so that I never have to run into an issue if I have to make a trip and maybe running late and not have time to fill up. I guess it is whatever works - And I can't see how running on empty can work for anyone.
