Hi All,
I'm bonding with my new to me 2018 RT. 'How far on a tank' is always a first thing when I add one to the stable. My experience with this one is a bit perplexing. Fill tank and reset trip #1. Ride. Low fuel lite comes on. Keep riding. Last bar on fuel gauge vanishes. Switch to 'range' on dash info. 40 miles to go. Keep riding. range says 1 mile to go. trip #1 says 295. OK, I give, pull up to pump. 5.5 gallons bring it up into the very top. MOM says I have a 6.6 gallons of usable fuel. Quick math says I got 50.5 MPG. So, do you find the gauge, low fuel lite and range info to be WAY cautious? Did I have another gallon (50 miles more or less)? Thoughts and experience sought.
BTW--yes, I know, don't run it dry--don't run it low--bad for pump--bad for cat--bad for glass (Chinatown fans out there?)
