11.52 gallons... how much was in the tank? - Toyota Yaris Forums

11.1 is what the manual says for capacity. Either the gas pump was miscalibrated, or you had 1/2 gallon in the filler pipe.

Didn't you do a calculation at one point to determine what the absolute maximum capacity would be to the top of the neck and came up with 12.8 gallons? (I know, it's not recommended/safe/etc. to go past the click) The 12.8 seemed really accurate to me because I once ran out of gas pulling into a station to get gas, and filled up to where I could start to see the gas in the neck. The total was 12.777 gallons.

Yes. This thread was from two years prior to me doing that though.

Sometimes I get caught up in the text and don't pay attention to the date of the post/
