I have the Grand Highlander hybrid max limited and am averaging around 23 mpg for daily driving. The gas tank max capacity is supposed to be 17 gallons but I am only able to put in a max of 12.5 gallons once the low fuel light comes on. Is there a large reserve tank and do I have an extra 4.5 gallons of range left when the low fuel warning light comes on? Please let me know how many gallons you are able to put into your tank once the low fuel light comes on (I still had 19 miles of range left once the low fuel light came on). Thanks!

Same issue grand Highlander hybrid max, already at 31,000 miles. 2024 model. I do drive a lot. I use it as a work vehicle. After a full tank, the car keeps showing random mileage between 295 to 336.( after checking how much miles I could really do. It’s at 250 miles and I need to fill up because the tank is empty) buying gas. The car only does about 10 gallons of fuel. Then a fuel pump shuts off. My nearest Toyota stated that the fuel tank capacity is there 17 gallon tank and they keep saying Toyota needs to do a recall and nothing that my closest Toyota dealer could do.

If I run the tank all the way down to 8 miles the most I could put in is 11.25 gallons. Even though in the owners manual states the tank capacity is a little above 17 gallons probably like 17 1/4 but the car never even takes more than 12+

Sounds good, kind of disappointing with the hybrid battery only working when you’re driving 20 mph. Toyota should’ve stated something with that. The most problems I’m having with this car is with the fuel tank situation. I’m already at 33,000 miles and have the car for a little bit over a year. Use it as a work vehicle and constantly at the station about two times sometimes three times a week. On a full tank the most I can do is 280 miles when I am already very, very low on gas.

Max mileage I can do with only 8 miles left on the tank is 232. My local dealer stated it might be a software issue not the tank “ capacity is there “ as I am being told .

Quick update for everyone just received the car back with the new updated software. The vehicle had 162 miles left to empty. And only took 5.8 gallons of gasoline. Right now I’m showing only 360 miles total on the tank. Maybe you have to drain the gasoline all the way out and refill?? doesn’t seem like this update works

Just had it done today , 162 miles on the tank when my car was dropped, after software flash I was told to get gas and see what happens . Only5.8 gallon and 360 miles on total tank . Software didn’t do anything unless the tank needs to be drained down ????

Good luck , update didn’t work for me at all after refuel same situation but I was told from one user on Reddit he said “ lets try a few more drains and re-fills for the AI to re-learn when the gastank is Empty and when gas tank is Full, and see if after several fills the AI allow you to fill up to 16gallons. “

No change for me still the same , possibly the dealer didn’t do a correct job ?

With the second fill up, it’s showing me 29.9 miles to the gallon on the hybrid max. Which is kind of weird because it always stayed around the 24 miles per gallon so I guess that is working better but still not taking the amount of fuel it needs.
