I filled a little over 9 gallons this morning...but would rather not risk waiting for the blinking Pip to do it...there's really no reason to wait that long. Even if you're getting 7 or 9 gallons in the tank it's not realistic to think you have 2-4 gallons still in the tank when the last Pip is flashing. There's a good chance there is well less than a gallon in there and 10-15 miles down the road it could be completely empty (or sooner).
When I had my 4runner I tried to stretch the tank as far as I could going for a 500 gallon tank but the consequences of running out of gas were far less damaging in the 4 runner vs. the Prius. Drain it dry in the Prius and it's alot of money and time to get it repaired.
I usually fill up with 2 Pips left and that's it.
