hehe you are quite wrong actually... a digital TV (i assume we are talking about LCD or plasma) have pixels that are either on (1) or off (0) of yellow, megenta, blue, or the presence of all the colours (white) or the abscence of all the colours (black). :)

not sure if this has been mentioned but on my s sedan:

- last bar blinks slow first
- then a bit faster when it's really low

i'll post youtube link soon

I hate LCD guages like this. My motorcycles use the same things, they just bug me. I'd rather have a needle style gauge. If I put gas in mine shortly after it starts blinking it usually takes about 9.5-10 gallons to fill it up. I've waited many of times for the fast blinking to start, which is usually around 10-10.5 to fill up.

ROCKLANDTOYOTA · 07-20-2007, 06:21 PM

its funny cause i was about 2 miles from the rest stop where i was headed to get gas(cheaper gas in jersey) and wifey says to me the light was blinking. i laughed and said maybe i should turn off the a/c cause its been blinking for 2 days now. as soon as i turned off the a/c the car started bogging down when i tried to accelerate and i got a little scared cause im doing 75 in the fast lane on a major highway and all the car wants to do is COAST over to the shoulder....... and for the post about refueling i put 11.3 gallons in after getting help from my boys....

naossoan · 07-29-2007, 07:19 AM

when my last bar starts blinking, I have about 6 litres left, which is ~1.5 gallons which with my average milage of 39mpg that should theoretically give me another 50 miles - 100km. But, I dunno. I don't want to risk it. I always just fill up the same day or next day that the bar starts blinking :)

black2yaris · 08-27-2007, 01:41 AM

Yes the pump is in the tank & yer wise to keep cool with a bath of fuel as replaceing it is expensive

marcus · 08-27-2007, 02:46 PM

my gas gauge average fuel:

1st bar atleast 110km to 126km the most
2nd bar goes up to 180-205km the most
3rd bar goes up to 250-265km
4th bar goes up to 320-345km the most
5th bar goes up to 385-405km
6th bar goes up to 460-490km
7th bar goes up to 540-572km
last bar- unbeknown- id give it 50-75 km the most. to dry empty.

LOL! That probably will happen to me some day....but, you guys don't have the PEA???? It's a protection sold with our Yaris here in Quebec. It' pretty like the CAA. They will bring gaz if you need it ad it's free (you pay for it when you buy the car)

marcus · 08-27-2007, 05:29 PM

yup i got one caa here in canada under toyota roadside assistance.

AAA in the states..

argylesocks · 08-27-2007, 07:16 PM

oh man... i ran out this winter... at a stop light, about 1 mile from the gas station. 2 lane road with no shoulder.... i pushed it for about 500 feet solo to the first spot i could get it off the road. haha... pushed it into a snow bank cause i couldnt turn the wheel fast enough, so then i had to push it out of the snow, and back into the parking lot. what a mess... all the while, i was peeing myself afraid that i was gonna get runned over.

ran to the station at that point...

That is a really funny mental image.

The peeing.

manborn · 08-27-2007, 09:29 PM

i guess im just real cheap coz i did kill mine as well before trying to go to next next next cheaper gas station

death is my gift · 09-05-2007, 10:19 AM

Normally when my last gas bar thing is blinking I get all nervous. Well, it's blinking now and I want to see how far I can push it. I've read here that someone got like 50 miles out of the last gas bar blinking. I reset my mile thingie when it went down to the blinking light.....so far I have 14 miles on it. Hope it lasts til 50 cuz I don't get paid until Friday.

Oh. I drive 16 miles round trip to work. Staying in once I get home too. Gonna milk that last bar.

marcus · 09-06-2007, 12:35 PM

well i finally reached 594 km before my last bar started blinkin' it may not be as good as others but then again thats about 80% hwy ive gone fishin last monday. hmmm.. that might not be as good as i think it is...?

death is my gift · 09-06-2007, 01:15 PM

After my last bar starting blinking I reset my mile thingie. I got to 20 and started to panic. I wanted to wait just to see how far I could get before filling up. But I got all nervous and stupid. Oh well, at least I know I have a good 20 miles after that last bar starts blinking.

the_boss · 09-10-2007, 04:20 PM

when I have 2 bars left and it been a day or so of driving i fill up the car and it get 38 liters in it... it says in the user guide 42 liters for the thank so 4 liters...15km with 1 liter...60km max...in my case...thank god I have roadside assistance on my cell

What's the fucking point in deliberately running a tank dry on one of the most fuel-efficient combustion engine-powered vehicles currently on the market?
