I never fill beyond a pump's automatic shut-off, and with few exceptions
I always use the same pump at the same station.

reading back again, that's 140 MILES on one bar, considering the first bar to be 1.5 gallon, that's about 100MPG...

your fuel level sensor could be wrong ?

The fuel gauge in the Yaris isn't the most accurate thing in the world, and seems to be largely graduated at the upper end. As such it's hard to know exactly how much fuel that first pip represented but we'll know how well the gauge is doing overall in another 10 to 14 days when I fuel up again.
