| Description of the problem | Toyota claim that my 2019 toyota rav4 fuel tank is 14. 5 gallon and average miles per gallon is 40 (40 x 14. 5 = 580 miles for one tank). But i never fuel up to that level at all. The max i can fuel up is 10 gallons. (40 x 10 = 400 miles max). So it is loss 180 miles here somehow. If this is the case toyota should advertise their vehicle with 10 gallons tank for all of their future rav4 suv. Or they should fix the fuel tank issue here. Please help. This is something wrong from a brand name as a reliable toyota. I notice this issue right after i bought my car in may 2019. I brought back to the piercey toyota dealer and complain, but they keep saying this is normal for hybrid car. This is not making sense at all. |
