    When you fill up your Tundra, the fuel gauge stays on full for a rather long time but then it goes from full to 3/4's full very rapidly?
    Is this some sort of trickery perpetrated by Toyota lol?

    My Honda CRV's fuel gauge needle drops evenly for me.
    The Tundra always fools me that I'm getting great mileage cause the freaking gauge isn't moving!
    Ha ha!

    Noticed the same on mine. Filled to the brim seems to hug the F for a long time. Once I hit 3/4, it goes down pretty quick.

    Careful topping it off. Just let the nozzle shut off naturally. Topping off can ruin your charcoal canister.

    Tint and wheels. Decked box in the bed. S and B Cold Air filters under the hood. Shiftpower throttle response controller.
    Want some sorcery? Drive until empty and the mile countdown has ceased to give you miles left. You can fill up a 38 gallon tank with only 33 gallons!!! :) That is some weird shit there! :D
