Fuel Level Gauge Stuck ? - 2007 Yaris Sedan

[kaboom]

I filled up my Yaris first time - dealer delivered vehicle with tankful of gas . It was three days ago. Fuel level meter went up to display 8 bars and..... as of right now it stays the same. I set trip odo to zero when I filled up , hoping to measure mpg on my Yaris. Trip odo is showing 100.2 miles :smile:
Going to take car back to the dealer after the weekend if no bars disappear on the gauge.....

hey, one bar dropped after 125 miles...yessssss! i keep the mile count on the other trip odo - we will see how far my Yaris will go on a full tank ( will keep few gallons in portable container in my trunk - just in case). i will let you guys know. we live in a suburb but there's still a lot of "stop'n go" situations - no hwy driving yet ( me and wife leaving for a Florida vacation on june 9th). car has slightly over 600 miles on odo - so it's not completely broken-in..... i believe whole "mpg measurement methodology" on Yarii has been flawed and i do not know if TOYOTA played any part in it (fuel gauge callibration ?) - the scoop was to show lower, than actual mpg so Yaris won't cannibalize Prius sales...just my .02 worth of some "conspiracy theory :smile:

That first bar always nets the most miles. After that, I'm happy if I get 50 miles per bar.

well, what i did now was setting trip odo to zero when i filled up ( 11.1 gals) and we will see what MPG is.........

I usually get 70% of my miles on the first 4 bars. Then it starts dropping fast. It's rather typical. My last car would sit at full & half a tank for long periods of time.

The only exception was my pickup. That phecking thing would start going down as soon as I pulled away from the pump and it was not kidding!:cry:

[death is my gift]

on one tank of gas i went 330 miles. but i drive hard. so you may get more.

i get infinite miles out of a tank as long as i keep gas in it:drool:

You nearly ran out of gas. :eek: You know your tank only holds 11.2 gallons. Unless the sedan tank is bigger than the Lift Back?
