I know what he means. On some cars, when they run out, you can restart them, and drive them gently (to keep the last bit of fuel as stationary as possible) a bit until they die again. The way the Yaris' fuel system works you can't - Once it quits, it's done.

it will sputter a bit then run good, alerting you that only minutes
remain and you are walking.....


my 4runner does that with <1/2 gallon left


it dies. you stop, wait, start again. in 3 miles it dies again.

start back up, you have 2 miles left, at most
