It also depends on if you overfill the tank as well, because the gauge in the tank only goes so high.
The 'overfill' issue would explain why the 'first bar drop' on my tanks occurs at a mileage point beyond what it seems to be most people are experiencing on this thread. My best is a first bar drop was a bit over 140 miles and my worst was at about 98 miles. I rarely drop below 115-120 re first bar drops. I fill my tank all the way to the top so that my MPG calculations are relevant from tank to tank. This would also explain why (after long ago running out of gas while pulling into a gas station to fuel my Yaris and filling all the way to the top as I usually do) I know that my Yaris will take 12.777 gallons, which is more than stated in the specifications for the Yaris.
