I say run it dry and have some Jerry cans with exactly the tank spec in them. See if you can fill them up (even slowly at the end).

There’s one other possibility in that the DTE and fuel light settings are messed up. You said that the light is supposed to come on with 2.3 gallons left — but you also said your wife says it comes on with the DTE around 40 (and it wasn’t on when you filled up with 39 on the DTE). At 2.3 gallons DTE should be around 90 miles. So I bet that the DTE mignt not actually be 0 with 0 displayed — since, you know, Toyota drivers... they are holding more reserve, so less to go in on top.
