"Distance To Empty" variance

WTH? MPG is calculated from usage, not from an estimation of tank size. MPG and tank size have zero relationship.

 

Fixed: Your distance to empty is based on your Mpg and 19 gallon tank. All calculations have proved this as does post #14

 

I fill my tank every Friday, with the only exception being road trips. Every time I have filled my tank, the distance until empty has read 364. It’s never read anything else.

 

Mines has said 365 every time I've filled up since I got the truck in June. Running 89 efree

 

Mine is 365, the lowest I've gone is 10 miles til empty and have yet to put more than 19 gallons in my tank, averaging about 19 miles per gallon. So if the truck reads empty at 365 I actually have about another 38 miles or 2 gallons left.

 

Yes, distance to empty uses tank size but not as you said, that mpg is based off tank size.

415 is the highest I've seen after filling, fwiw. My max distance on a tank is 468.7 miles.

 

I've yet to see a distance to empty based on 21 gallon tank. At the end of the day it all calculates to 19. Period. You can average 10mpgs or 22 it all falls back to 19 gallons tank.

If you can show me otherwise I'd love to see it.

 

On my truck it read 385 since I purchased it new and now after the summer vacation trip across the united states it now reads 381 at fill ups. I defiantly achieved above 24 miles to a gallon between fill ups with achieve one tank full of 26.5 miles a gallon. During those fill ups I'd averaged well over 400 mile a tank with one at 426.

 

mine says 384 every time I fill up, going on 2 years now

 

It's a freaking conspiracy man.

 

I went from 385 to 416 to 385 down to 325 now after a 2500+ miles roadtrip averaging about 16-17mpg :\

 

My distance to empty has always been 385. I've run my mpg by hand every fill up from mile zero. I'm in Louisiana with pretty flat ground I've rarely seen better than 20mpg on a tank and I do 2/3 of almost every tank on the interstate. 4wd with LB is probably a factor in that.

 

Mine registered 414 miles for the first year and a half, then all of a sudden it goes to 385, today it was down to 365!

 

The good old stock days when i was getting 19mpg average. I'm at 35k and getting around 15mpg after a few mods lol

 

I’ve hovered around the 290s. Never made 300 or more.

 

Thanks, now I have to go fill my tank to see what mine says..

 

Same i could maybe make 300 if i wanted to roll the dice on getting stuck on the side the road lol.

 

I hate that feeling when you second guess your decision to pass the last gas station thinking you’ll make the next one.

 

22000 miles, 2016 AC. 385 to empty almost everytime, occasionally 415.

 

Shit man must be nice haha mine always says 285 but I’m towing everyday
