Is that the LC that Toyota Jeff posted on Instagram today?

I don’t know where Jeff is located. This vehicle was in Fayetteville NC and received by dealership on 5/10/24

Pardon my ignorance. What does “15.3 gallons at 5 miles remaining of range” mean? Thanks!

Oh maybe I’ll check that once I get to remove that “iforcetransformercaptainamerica” badge in the back

Then you lose the power of your magic decoder ring. You got one of those, right?

Find a gas station now.

That means that the fuel tank took 15.3 gallons of fuel when he "filled it up" (with 5 miles of range displaying on the trip computer). The fuel tank on the LC is 17.9 gallons. So, either the distance to empty (DTE) display is VERY conservative or he didn't fully fill the tank with fuel. My experience with many modern Toyota models (GR86, Corolla Hatchback, and GR Corolla) is that I've never been able to add a full tank of fuel (even with the DTE at 0 miles to empty). But 2.5 gallons is quite the buffer (on the LC). We'll see what others experience when they fill the tank on their LC.

I assume that is giving an estimate of the ‘usable’ capacity of the fuel tank.

I saw the upgraded tires and he's in NC. So, I thought maybe it was the same LC.

Great answer, I fully agree. It depends how hard you try to fill the tank.... after the first click. Not recommended but you can fill one more gallon if you are determined to do this

That’s what threw me. I thought it would’ve taken a fair bit more gasoline to fill it up when there was only 5 miles of range left. Thanks.

It helps to get these photos, when you work at the dealership.

Surprised they trailered that LC without plastic on the hood.

In the southeast region.. they prep the cars at “port” before they ship them. So when they arrive, they just need cleaned.

It isn't 5 miles of range left until empty... it is "you should fill up the tank within 5 miles". If someone insists on running the tank to completely empty, which isn't a great idea, they would have more like 45-55 miles of range left. Those last ~2 gallons are considered reserve.
