While on the road trip to CO, I noticed that the fuel range said that I could go another 65-70 miles after the fuel light came on. I had some doubts as to the accuracy. When I have a full tank after filling up, it says I have a range of like 450 miles. WTF? There's no way...

Did you try to go another "65-70 miles"?
What kind of range are you normally getting out of a tank of fuel, I get just under 450 normally and about 490 on the highway.
I'll bet that you have a fairly heavy right foot, no?

When the needle sits on empty, I don't try to push my luck. Especially with 3 screamin kids and a wife with an grudge riding along. I don't drive it much so I can't specify exact MPG's and range from actual driving experience. I have to admit, I like to hear the sound of the motor, hahahaha!

My story is kinda similar:

One silent kiddo watching a movie (but we'll call her a "screaming kid" for effect) and a wife with at least 3 grudges, no kidding; this gal can't stand the sight of me (or anyone else for that matter).

LOL!! I feel your pain! NEways... Have you gotten anywhere near 400 miles per tank? Seems impossible.

Not impossible! I have gotten over 400 driving hwy only trips.

Isn't the range just the current average mpg times the remaining fuel?

I got 475 miles on a tank of fuel on a trip from Southern Louisiana to St. Louis. Could have squeezed a little more out of the tank but did not want to take the chance.

Do most of you find the gauge to be farily accurate? Is it within 10 miles of being the correct information?
