In 30,000 miles, I've never seen the cruising range go up, other than at fill-up time. I have seen it NOT go down for miles...when I am getting great mpg.

I've also seen it drop VERY fast near the bottom of the tank. I can leave my house with 14 miles to empty showing, and within a mile or 2, it shows 0...at the same time, the trip mileage in the ECO meter shows 35-40mpg!

I share your confusion.
