The fuel indicator malfunctions during the winter months. It starts to show empty gas tank when it is 1/2 full. This problem goes away when temporature rises. Toyota is aware of this problem and tells us that this is probably due to bad gas tank design. There is no solution to this problem for over one year and Toyota is not willing to fix this issue.
