Range ?

What is your Range on the Trip Computer after a full fill-up of gas? I feel like mine is low as it reads 290 after a full fill-up. Are you guys in the 300 + RANGE?

it all depends on the trip computer. if you fill up, get on the highway, get to 55mph and then reset the computer, it will tell you 400+

if you drive in the city all day, and dont reset the computer, it will tell ya 290

I just took a trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico and when I filled up before I left it said I had 330 miles. I made it to Flagstaff on 3/4 tank and that was a 380 mile trip. I had 260 miles at half a tank which is pretty good I think. Especially since my MPG average was 24.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I think I need to stop driving in S Mode so much. My MPG average is alot lower than what you guys are getting. Hopefully it will go up after I install the ATLP Cat-back, J-Pipe, and Test Pipe I just received.

Hmmm...never paid attention to it as it's mostly way off when I see how much additional range I have (not after a full fill up). It would say 75 miles, for example, I drive 10 miles down the road and by then it reads 50 miles left. I know it all depends on whether local or highway, etc. but it's too variable for me to use.

I do know that I can get 500+ miles on a full tank, 99% highway at 70-72 MPH cruise.

A better question is how low has people run their tanks? I've never filled up more than 16.5-17 gallons due to paranoia. I think the fuel warning light comes on at about 15.5 gallon used (or 3 gallons left).
I always worry if I run the tank to less than 1 gallon left I'd be running on "fumes"

Ive gone to where the range says I have 9 miles left and when I filled up it was a bit over 17 gallons. I dont think I want to get any closer than that lol.

I've got around 450km on my tank right now, i think that's around 285 Miles. It's at the last line before Empty. Light will come on soon. That's a mix of Highway & City.

Why does it seem that my reading look very low compared to some of you? My range will show around 490 KM which is around the 285 -290 Miles......Is it the Canadian gas? Or am i just driving hard?

JNC2000, you've got an SH-AWD????? 480Miles is unbelievable, is that strictly highway?

Yes I have a 2010 SH-AWD.

I don't drive strictly highway, and want highway I do drive is through the hills of Western, and southern PA, WV and OH. I imagine if I were to drive on much flatter roads my average MPG would be higher, and I would get more mileage per tank of gas.

According to Fuelly, my average right now is 24 MPG/ 9.8L/100KM (I've been tracking it since I bought it November 1st) and I just crested 3k miles

Seeing I drive so much I track all my vehicles on Fuelly.
