Cruise Range? Does not seem to add up!
Bought my TCH two weeks ago and I like the car very much. But with every new car I have owned it takes some getting used to the "quirks" especially if you change manufactures.
I am still on my first tank of gas and trying my very best to beat or meet the EPA MPG. As I get close to the end of the tank and look at the ODO/Trip plus the Cruise Range remaining they seem to add up to an average or total substantially less than it should be.
Can someone who has put a few more miles and a few more tanks on their car give me an idea of what the computer estimated “Cruise Range” is really showing me? I owned a VW Touareg before this and the computer was always very optimistic until the end, or the last 70 miles then I ran out of gas very quickly. But the TCH seems to be showing a pessimistic amount remaining.
I currently have 420 miles on tank, cruise range showing 120 miles and I am averaging 39.0 MPG on my first tank. I should get over 650 miles per tank at 39.0 MPG if I drove until I run out . So I should be able to refill after 600 miles on the tank at the very least.
Thanks in advance.
