Well, well, well.
I had no idea my actions would upset so many of you. I find it curious how many people are so concerned with what I do with MY vehicle that I paid for with MY money.
I apologize to all you nice people. I am sorry I troubled you by posting this. I won't make the same mistake again.:hunter:

Evap controls are important to keep the air clean. We all have some interest there.

Draining the tank to empty is bad. Topping it off is bad. Negative replies to your post are a warning to others who might not realize that they could damage their vehicle by following in your steps.

Going through my records shows the low fuel light has come on as low as a 19.6 gallon fill up. It could be an outlier. The most gas I’ve put in the tank is 21.019 gals. I’ve gone 475 miles on a single tank and 6 times I’ve been over 449 miles. A couple of those times the light did not come on. Those were most likely wind aided legs.

Regular 87 here. I filled with premium 4 times on a trip once. I make the same trip 10-15 times a year. It seems wind, air temp ( tire pressure?), and gas formulation (winter vs. summer I guess) are the biggest factors on my gas mileage. I could not isolate octane as a factor at all.

Unfortunately I overflowed the gas in my 4Runner last August, when I was at a rundown old gas station in Nevada. The shutoff on the nozzle was broken, and took me by surprise.

Do yourself a favor and keep from doing a wallet flush in the future.
I'm going to be as gentle as possible here....
If you only fill your fuel tank, hose and evaporator one time as you mentioned, you may not have any issues.
If you continue to fill your tank past the second shut off of the nozzle, you are begging to ruin your canister and end up draining your wallet.
We all care about our beloved T4R's, and that's why you are getting ribbed.
That's some peoples way of warning you and others not to do what you did here on your initial posting.
23 gals.... squeezing in another 1, 1.5 or 2 gals is not worth the cost brother.
Hope you didn't take offence here.... Merry Christmas!

Same thing happened to me with my Rav4. No issues thus far. I'm sure the evap system isn't so fragile a single incident knocks it out, but a steady diet of gasoline can't be good for it.

The original post in this thread got some of us to kidding around. This morning at tacomaworld.com - someone posted the following.
Looks like someone actually did it at least once:
I'm done with this car! - MustangForums.com

That's about what I experience with mine also...and I totally agree that some will run it to empty if it was exactly accurate.
In fact, there was an episode of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" that I watched as a kid where his Japanese car ran out of gas at exactly "E" and he complained that an American car would go below "E". LOL
My practice also! You know you have at least 3 gallons, and get at least 15mpg, so 40 is a nice conservative estimate that'll get you to a gas station.
Damn. What a moron. I didn't know they made people that stupid.
