miles per gallon

Asked by pattat11 Sep 23, 2013 at 12:28 PM about the 2007 Toyota Yaris Sedan

Question type: General

Just curious if anyone knows the answer to this question,  when the last bar is blinking on your fuel gauge,  how many gallons is there left/miles are left before running out of gas.
I usually consider a half tank as empty but every few refills I do run it a bit lower just because I want to get fresh gas mix  in the tank  but I’ve been a little short on cash this week and pushed it to the blinking bar level.
I’ve done this before but get gas as soon as it blinks just because I can but this morning I was running late and well just wondering how much gas is still left at this level since I’m assuming at least a gallon so I may have a good 25 + miles but just wanting a for sure answer for future reference.

You have more gas than you think. Now DON'T push you luck on my say~so. But the last bar will blink when you have 2 gallons. But gas sloshing front and back with only 2 gallons might get you is a situation where the pickup tube sucks air. Then you could have trouble
