Thanks again for everyone's response. The main thing I've gotten from what people have said is that BMW has not done a good job of explaining how the Range is calculated and what it represents. The range appears to be based on the usable gallons excluding the reserve, which seems odd to me because that's when you'd really want to know the range. I don't really need it when the tank is mostly full. I think I may go back to the system I use on the R100 RT, which is, as some have mentioned, to reset the trip odometer after filling up and knowing how many miles you can go before running.
