Hi,

My low fuel light comes on - I already checked twice - at ~ 4 gallons left
(assuming previous owner did not change the tank )! and I have 15.9 capacity.
Is it normal? The fuel gauge still shows almost one notch above empty.

I believe that happens on most Toyotas. The light comes on early so you don't run out of gas. My dad runs his 5S Camry 40+ miles after the light comes on.

yeah mine does the same thing. When it gets a little below 1/4 it comes on. Not a big deal though.

I like how it fades on and off a few times when getting low
then stays lit when it gets at a certain level.

here is a fix for that problem

1. go to the gas station
2. open your gas cap
3. pay a crazy amount of money for gas
4. fill up your tank.

the problem should go away. sadly its only a temp fix and the problem will return in about a week or so.

I had exactly $40 when I went to the gas station. I didn't even fill up all the way... but it was close.

When you're driving, the gas will splash around in there, triggering the light on and off. When the light first comes on (and stays on), you are supposed to have 60 miles of driving before running out of gas.
