How many gallons of gas does Prius v hold?

I've driven about 15 miles past 0 range remaining. Last bar still remained illuminated, have never seen it flash. It took 10.5 gallons. Usually I run it down to 10 miles or less and fill it up, usually takes right at 10 gallons. I suspect that it really is a 12 gallon tank, but Toyota doesn't want you to run it down to actually empty as the last 2 gallons keeps the pump cool.

 

…. (crickets came out at 1:35 pm today)

 

2012 Toyota Prius (not a plug-in)
using one tank of gas (11.9 gal):
TripA distance driven: 911 miles.
TripA gas mileage: 76.5 mpg.

 

Downhill, both ways….

 

76.5 mpg (US) displayed, corresponds to 3 liters per 100 kms: I’d concur, not sustainable.

roll down a hill, flatbed it back to top, repeat.

 

No hills in Southwest Florida.

 

Start a Fuelly account; you'll be leader of the pack (of currently 1,119 vehicles), with your closest rival having 62 mpg US.

What a wacky thread about Prius V's. Everyone talking about how far you can drive your car on "empty"..... buy some gas when the gauge gets low. What are ya'll trying to prove ?

 

I love our gen2s but am getting 44 plus mpg out of my 2013 V, and it holds more and is four years newer....

 

When in doubt pull out the manual which says 11.9 gallons. I have put in 11 gallons once or twice after driving 40 miles past zero range.


For those who think they put in 12.5 to 13.54 gallons; quit going to those stations, they are ripping you off with uncalibrated pumps.

 

Some of the excess fuel may of course end up in the canister line of the carcoal absorber, and then it will stop working as intended.
