Hi

i have had my 2023 RX350H for about 9 months and I have an issue with the fuel guage reading. The fuel light comes on yet I can only get 50 lts or so when refuelling. I have spoken to Lexus about this and they say it is within range of accepted error. My view is 50/65 lts is a 23% error and essentially I can travel another 250km with what is left. This feels like a fault to me. I have even taken to driving well past the warning , most recently travelling 100km past the ‘zero” warning and still only managed to use 55 lts to fill. 
interested to hear if others have any concerns or comments. 
 

cheers

0 doesnt mean 0

the car can still do another 40 kms or more out of it

for a hybrid even more

think of it more of a early warning system

Thanks for your response.  
my issue is that I can do 250 km more when  the fuel light first goes on. 
 The fuel gauge is not accurate by a long way, I’m asking if anyone else is experiencing this in the latest RX models. 
 

cheers

Exactly the same problem with my Rx500h.

I have never had to put any more than 45 litres in a 65 litre tank from close to empty. I always fill up before gauge shows empty. That leaves me with 20 litres  of fuel that I never get the useful distance of.
Going in for 12mth service tomorrow and will see what b/s they serve up as an excuse. Surely they should be able to recalibrate the gauge!
