    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.

    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.

    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....
