Consumer Description

GAS TANK ONLY HOLDS 12.5 - 13 GALLONS WITH A RANGE OF 425-450 AT MOST WHEREAS TOYOTA CLAIMS IN THEIR ADVERTISING AND SPECS THAT THE TANK HOLD 17.1 GALLONS AND THE CAR HAS A RANGE OF 598 MILES. I CONFIRMED WITH TOYOTA THAT THIS IS OFF SPECIFICATION AND THEY SAID THE TANK WILL ONLY TAKE 14 GALLONS AND THE RANGE WILL DECIDE ITSELF. I USE THE CAR FOR LONG TRIPS, BOUGHT IT FOR THE TANK SIZE AND RANGE AND AM CONCERNED I AM GOING TO RUN OUT.
