Wow thats impressive. Im getting 300-320
It all boils down to range anxiety.

I had a 2020 Tundra with at 38 gallon tank. If I filled up with 50 miles to empty, I could barely get 30 gallons in the tank. It was very frustrating coming from Fords with 36 gallon tanks that seemed to show real fuel range left. I’ve heard it is because Toyota doesn’t want your fuel level to get so low that your tank doesn’t have enough fuel to properly cool the fuel pump. This is just a theory I read.

While I agree the gauge should read accurately, I can't understand why people would be upset, when the gage says you're out of gas but you're not really........... Cause for me, when that happens, I start looking in earnest for the next gas station!
You guys are funny with all this 'Range Anxiety' talk. My old 2013 Nissan Leaf is like... 'Hold my beer...'
75ish miles on a good day, 30 if you were lucky while running the heat full blast during a snow storm. Apples to oranges I know, but had a few close call out there!

Toyota will send gas as part of the roadside assistance that you purchased with the vehicle. Press the red overhead button under the clear shield.
My refill with 1 mile remaining was 15.5 gallons.
Interesting to hear people getting different amounts left in the tank at empty. I ran mine down to zero. It doesn't actually display zero, it displays the word 'refuel". I had about a gallon left in reserve, definitely not two.
Think of it as like a "snooze" button for gas tanks 
It is pretty straightforward on pavement and in 95% of the US. But, we travel in situations in which we calculate our fuel range very carefully and usually have to carry a spare gallon or two. So, an accurate readout of fuel remaining is very important
My counterpoint to that would be that if you're stuck because of a few gallons of gas, you're doing it wrong.
Unlikely, totally different platform.My friend just bought a 24 Fourrunner, 2WD, SR5(?). It has a 23 gallon fuel tank. I wonder if it could be mounted on our 2024 LC’s?
Yea.. stupid past late at night..
You'll get used to it, and will eventually be thankful for the heads up. My Tundra can run for about 65 km (40 miles) after the low fuel indicator comes on and it says 0 km remaining, and will still have over a gallon of gas left when I fill up. On the other hand, we had an Audi (or maybe it was a BMW) that when the low fuel indicator came on, you had very few km to empty, and when it said 0 km left, you had 0 km left!
Ask me which is worse. And ask me how I know.

Will be Interesting to see if 300 series or 250 series diesel auxiliary tanks can be made to fit.

Perhaps mentioned already ... the LC250 model sold in the middle east and other markets with the same T24A-FTS 2.4l engine used on US models, gasoline (not diesel), without the hybrid has a 29 gal tank and gets 25mpg (~700 mile range)

The non-hybrid variant has a fairly large drop-off in both horsepower and torque however

The Distance to Empty will gradually update based on your average MPG.
The better MPG you get, the bigger the DTE number gets.
I figured as such.The Distance to Empty will gradually update based on your average MPG.
Now we just need to get some of those gas tanks here in the US of A!!!
