Why the top fuel level bar lasts so long - Toyota Yaris Forums

Trying to get my UltraGuage more accurate as it relates to MPG.

Currently it is set-up to an 11.1 gal. tank.

I always fill to the first click, round to the nearest nickel.

Based on CTScott's examination and testing I am thinking of resetting my tank size to 11.9.

Would I be correct in assuming that a first click fill up would add an additional .7 gal.,apprx.?

Or would increasing the the tank to 11.6 an additional 1/2 gal. be closer?

I am thinking .8, any thoughts would be appreciated.

For the first click, I would say that 11.6 - 11.7 is good. If you go a bit beyond that then 11.8 to 11.9 would be appropriate.
