Hi all I am planning to purchase TCH soon and needing your advise on price I should pay for this vehicle. I would like to add leather seats as only option. Please assist.

Replying to: mjones12 (Dec 05, 2006 4:50 pm) I might have bought that earlier before I bought the car. NOT. After 16,500 miles I have not seen my tank expand. I'm really hoping it's not that flexible. The last poster mentioned that you will have about 3 gallons left after the light comes on. Believe it. There are threads to document this and several people have went well past the light (I've gone 60 miles past the light myself). It's true that the cruising range indication may increase as you gain better averages but that's just an indication of estimated range based on the "E" mark. If you're averaging say 40 mpg and started with a full tank you have well over 100 miles to you're actually empty. Look back at the other thread topics and "catch up" on past comments, it's well worth your time to read these. Fortunately Edmunds has a topic thread unlike the "other" forum where topics are not indexed and seem to shift all over the place in any given thread. These are more educational. Give them a look. |

Bought my TCH back in June. And I too was surprised both here in the forums and in computing my actual gas mileage about the '3 gallons'. Called my dealership. It's called a or the 'reserve'. And why is that? It seems that with hybrids or HSD or whatever, if you ever completely run out of gas, there's no way you can restart your car for yourself (no filling a jerry can and then pouring its contents into your tank). Your TCH can only be restarted after it's been towed to a delearship. And why is this? They wouldn't say. It's obviously not something they advertise. Toyota really doesn't want you to run fully out of gas.

That is why the computer orders the shut-down. How many people are we talking about here? If a person routinely runs out of gas, our primary concern should be if they actually have enough mental capacity to have a license.
