5th Gen Gas Tank Capacity and Range

You get that on the range gauge?

No, on the range gauge it read about 380-400. Yet, I go off of the tripometer. Once it gets down to 260-300, seems like the range gauge corrects itself and goes much slower...

We did a Big Bend (Texas) trip two weeks ago, traveled 1520 miles, averaged 71 MPH, including all the slow time in the park, and the average MPG was 18.9; we ran 85 - 90 on much of the highway. I noticed when the fuel light came on and I filled up it only took on a little over 19 gallons. In over two years with my 4RT I've never noticed a range function in the computer; in fact, I didn't even know it existed until this thread; learn something new every day. Heading to Maine in a couple of weeks for some Down East camping, pulling my A/T Chaser this time; that will put a dent in the fuel econ and I won't be running as fast. As an aside, even though my 4RT was pretty quiet, several months ago I installed dynamat throughout and it's really quiet in the cabin, even at the higher speeds. Anyway, when I return from the Maine trip at the end of the month I'll let you know how the fuel econ turned out.
How’d I miss that range function?

Where you headed in downeast?

Some areas between Agusta and Mt Desert, then Acadia and, if I feel there is time, head up to Moosehead lake area; then, haul ass back to Texas.

I forgot to add: It looks like we have the same ride, and annoying horn; my Trail is also a 10, same gear... in silver.
