Looking at the needle and the light not being on yet, you could of easily gotten over 100 more miles. When my light comes on, it tells me that I have 80+ miles left on the Trip Computer.

Yeah, you could've easily done 500+.

How long were you cruising? And at what speed?

I know. I think the most I got was 380. I drive about 70/30 (hwy/street %) with no other passengers.

You could have hit 500 I think! IMO you stopped for gas way too early!

I've driven across state. From Jacksonville to Pensacola in 5.5 hours on 3/4 of a tank. Not sure what the mileage is, but I know it's over 400 miles. Another reason I love this car!
