And it seems to not be "up to 10" as much as "10 gallons goes in."

Some people say they can put in two or more gallons after the auto shut off, but get scared about overfilling. A few have had their cars in for service because of it and Toyota engineers have come in to look at the cars.

Wonder if there's a TSB or recall in the future. Or if Toyota put smaller tanks in than the specs. I asked my wife and she says "10 gallons every time."
That's interesting. Too many possibilities without knowing what the system looks like, but I love investigating stuff like that at work.
