    It is made that way to protect people from themselves. Usually at E you have three or so gallons.
    Dumbasses won't pay attention, run out, burn up in tank fuel pump, blame Toyota and then buy a Buick.
    So, Toyota fixed the dumbass problem by going to zero miles before fuel runs out. Amazing huh?
