Marc,

You made me go back to the Owner's Manual to check gas tank capacity. It's 17.2 gal and, at 39.8 MPG, you have a maximum range of about 685 miles.

This leads me to believe that the "Cruising Range" screen on the multi-information display is very conservative. In my first two tanks (I am working on the second right now), I have an average of about 40 MPG. But when I add the miles driven on the tank to the range shown on the "Cruising Range" screen, I come up with a tank cruising range of just over 500 miles.

The OM says ( p. 136) that the cruising range is calculated "based on the quantity of remaining fuel and past fuel consumption." Not exactly a detailed description. It also says it is "the approximate distance you can drive until the fuel gauge reaches 'E'."

Does this really mean that you would have over 100 miles left in the tank when the guage shows empty? I have never "drained" the tank to find out and don't plan to. Anyone else care to share on "true" tank range?
