My DTE number seems pretty good. I have the 26 gallon tank and at my last fill up I had ~ 25 miles of range and I put in 24.3 gallons of gas. Given that I was getting 16.5 MPG around town per the computer it was pretty close to what I had left.

How many gallons to fill it?

Tank capacity minus what it took you to fill it up equals how much fuel was left.

I guess i'm just old school---what's the point of running that low? Christ, it only takes about 5 minutes to pull over and fill your tank. Look at me--i got a 32 gallon tank and drove 15 thousand miles and I've still got 2 teaspoons of gas left----so what???????

Yup, my wifes car is always empty and I never understand it. Used to be, if you kept sucking your tank dry you were picking up al that crap at the bottom of the tank.

That's the only time I get to drive the wife's car-----when it needs gas--surprise surprise. You'd think I'd figure it out one of these days.

What was that movie where the guy was always taking the helicopter out and almost running out of gas every time? Was it And Justice For All?

My truck never get below a 1/4, usually I fill it every week so it is more like 1/2.

Almost every time I jump in my girlfriends Jeep Wrangler to go somewhere the fuel light is on and off course we are usually late already.

A gallon of gas weighs about 6lbs. I liked to keep mine low to keep weight down incase I came across anyone squirrelly at a stoplight on the rural highway next to my house. :D

Plus it's fun going to the gas station all the time when strangers keep telling you how badass your truck is lol.

Just moved and my daily commute is 99% interstate now :(
