    Hey guys,

    I left my manual in the basement at home and so I can't check it at work to see if it says specifically, but my question is at what point does the gas light in your Tacoma come on? Is there a specific amount of gas (gallons) that is in the tank when it comes on?

    I'm just trying to calculate if I can get home (22 miles away) since the light came on right when I got to work haha.

    Any help is appreciate it. Thanks.

    You're going to need gas soon.
    Just stop and buy some.
    Running the tank low in a FI truck is hard on the fuel pump, located in the tank and using the gasoline to help keep it cool.
    Otherwise, you are just making the fuel pump run the chance of burning up.

    .
    IIRC, that means you have four gallons left in the tank, 22 miles should be no problem if you drive normal
