folks disregarding original post can post above, they've already got the ball rolling...

how much heat do these disperse into the fuel anyways? compared to the heat that's carried up and out of the pump with the fuel?

maybe someone needs to create a cooling system for the in-line out of tank gyrator type pumps i sell? carter and holley got some news coming to them...

on topic- it appears 11.5 is the ultimate cutoff... i wish mother toyota could've incorporated a slightly more accurate fuel gauge... now i have a better idea what to track with the scangauge...

You do realize that running the fuel to that low is not good for the fuel pump. ...

50 mpg x 11 gal = 550 miles. Hard to do 50 MPG for very long, but I do that on some trips home from work. There is an elevation drop (around 500 feet) that helps a lot. Never drive highway, around 45 mph seems to be the sweet spot for me. I coast down the hill, engine idling. I have less than 2K miles, so break-in is not complete. I got 38 and 40 MPG the last two tanks. Mileage drops when driving 70 and carrying passengers (38 MPG for the trip).
