Fuel range

Interesting, my gauge must be a tad more accurate than normal. I have a 2002.

I'll get about 300 miles before the light comes on. My commute is mostly highway, and I set the cruise at 65. I generally get about 21mpg average. Which I believe is pretty much as good as it gets for a 3rd gen 4Runner.

Anyway, when the light comes on and the needle is just a hair above empty I usually get 16 gallons into it.

maybe its a model year thing, my 2002 is also quite accurate and I get the same reading.
Light comes on and it matches right up with what the Ultragauge is saying with about 2 gallons left in the tank.
