How many miles are you guys getting on a full tank of gas?

[danford.lau]

Ok But some like the OP (4 door) says he's getting 255 to 260 a tank. And states 15ish.. 260 divided by 22.5 = 11.55 mpg I understand this is when the light goes on, but that would be about 17 gals. Do we really have 5.5 gals when the light comes on? If memory serves me I thought maybe something closer to 2 gals

My manual says 22 gal tank but even driving around after light goes on for miles I never can fill more than 17.5 gals . Might be a larger reserve

I believe the light comes on at 3 gallons. At least that's what I calculated when I ran out of gas.

I don't know if those above are actually calculating MPG or just going off the dash numbers... I know the best I've gotten in mine was around 220-230 miles which is just under 13 MPG.

I could probably get better, but I find it near impossible to set the cruise under 75 MPH. 55-65 I get around 18-22 on a flat road (on the dash) and over 70 on a flat road it displays between 12 and 13 if I recall, so it actually isn't that inaccurate.

Yeah, that’s an interesting point you made. To have a 5 gallon reserve. The average gallons I would put in is right around 17 gallons at every fill up. And I always used the miles divided by gallons method to get my average.

Yea I think when I'm on "E" I put in about 18 gals. At a certain point the dash won't tell how many miles you have left. It just says something to the affect get some gas NOW. or

Does anyone run a larger tank at all? Genright or longranger? I would be interested to hear if they are worth the money to get? I get about 400 km a tank, some of the areas we can go are close to 250 Km away with no fuel stations within a reasonable refill distance.

I carry 10 extra gallons with me.

I do have a can I bring too, but it would be nice to have it all in the fuel tank.

I always have that AEV reserve filled with 7 gallons. I’ve take mine way past what I was comfortable with expecting to run out of gas, and only put 19 gallons in at around 250-260 miles. But that’s the closest I’ve gotten to running it out.
