I guess I must have gotten a 'Wednesday' fuel pump . I almost always take my tank as close to empty as possible before filling up. The original fuel pump still works, and I'm still getting over 40 MPG combined.

That's good that you're getting 40 mpg averages. For some reason, my car really hates this winter blend crap, and my average went down to ~36. Doesn't help that I have the wrong size exhaust piping and 43.5lb tire/wheel combo. When ever I do any city driving, I'll watch my average go down, lower, and lower, and lower...

But yeah, I have no clue how much shorter running your tank near empty will do to your fuel pump's life. May not see it until ~150k miles or somewhere near there.

Gotta time your travel if you'll be on I-80.

Congrats on reaching that milestone on your Yaris.
