For 19 rav4 hybrid ?
The official fuel tank capacity specified by Toyota for the 2019 RAV4 is 14.5 gallons, for both regular and hybrid models. Per automotive standards, the specified tank size is the amount of usable fuel, and already accounts for tank geometry and configuration for any non-usable fuel, air pockets, etc. So it's 14.5 gallons of usable gas.
14.5 gallons as has been stated a billion times in many discussions.

It's probably been stated less than billion times.
I am thinking 14.5 is a typo. 2019 mpg went up from 2018 model so the gas tank would be smaller. That would be the smart thing to do.

The 5th gen HV isn't much different than the 4th gen HV as far as tank capacity and reserve, it had a 14.8 gallon tank with 2.7 gallon spec for reserve, fuel economy wasn't as good as the 5th gen, but it didn't have a problem refueling as many 5th gen HV do.

Does the "XX miles to empty" include any reserve?
So when my gauge says 60 miles till refuel. Does that mean I'm out of gas in 60 miles, or does it mean in 60 miles I get a warning light/beep, and I really have another gallon or so? I've only filled my tank once so far, and it was still at 1/4 tank.

That's why I am thinking 2019 gas tank is smaller than 2018 gas tank as the hwy mpg is so much better. It doesn't make sense to keep it the same size as 18 rav4. I think there is a typo coupled with the fact that there are some rav4 out there with a bias of 2 gallons. Sensor bias or some other bias. Bad batch of sensors ? I estimate my tank to be 12 someting gallons total. Guage past full on first click. If I had a sensor with bias then pump would shut off as before when full. Then I would see the Guage shows not full. So I would keep pumping and overpumping by 2 gallons. Not good for evap system but Guage would now shown full.The 5th gen HV isn't much different than the 4th gen HV as far as tank capacity and reserve, it had a 14.8 gallon tank with 2.7 gallon spec for reserve, fuel economy wasn't as good as the 5th gen, but it didn't have a problem refueling as many 5th gen HV do.

Then how do you explain Illflyaway being able to put 12.97 gallons in his? And Tip Tank
13.777 gallons in his?

13.7 < 14.5
Did you put 13.7 with the pump shutting of on first click.
If it took you several attempts then you overfilled. I used to do that in my younger days with a good gas price at the pump. I learned my lesson.
Since yours has no issue refueling, why don't you run it down to the refuel warning and see how much it takes to fill up?

Thanks for the math lesson that 13.7 is less than 14.5. I didn't drive until I ran out of gas...there was obviously gas left in the tank. But on the flip side using your logic, 13.7 > 12 something.
I didn't overfill anything; I topped off. If I was overfilling, I would have had gas coming out of the filler neck and down the side of my fender. I was bypassing the flaw in the tank/filler design to ensure I get the range I was promised...

I can't believe someone started another thread on the exact same problem. Like seriously. How many threads do we need for the same issue?

I understand your frustation. 12 something, 13.7, 12.97 are just numbers. I am trying to figure out my gas tank too.
Also the gas does not have to spill out over the fenders for the tank to be overfull. I used to keep pumping click after click and overfill by 2 or 3 gallons without any spills.

Does Toyota acknowledge the tank filler issue. Does your hybrid have a different part than mine. I assume yours fills easy the first 8 or 9 gallons.

You can go to sleep and chill.
Since yours refills easily past full on the gauge, just what are you trying to figure out?
