I asked about the update and there's nothing yet and no confirmed date.
Also I've noticed I get significantly different economy from the two brands of fuel i use, lease vehicle with fuel cards, BP or Caltex, at least 0.3 - 0.5L/100 better with Caltex!!!! Don't know about other brands, I've filled with BP 3 - 4 times and always worse economy.

Just moved up from NSW to QLD.
I was out at SCI FLEET Toyota Albion Queensland. Friendly, helpful staff. Got talking about the fuel guage issue. They are doing a fix. Were they remove the fuel tank and bend the sender rod, so it gives a more accurate reading. Fuel light comes on with 12 litres rather than 25 litres. He said they are having good results. Fix takes about 3 hours.
