Fuel Range on full tank

I seem to be hitting the reserve now at 175 or so...and never get more than 210. I don't recall my 08 having this limited range.

I commute at 40-60 mph daily, and the mpg says 16.9, but based on my last fill-up I am really below 15 mpg.

What are you all getting?

I usually fill up at around 265 with the indicator saying I have around 30 miles left to go. My computer says I average 18.9, which is pretty much dead on.

I usually do between 260 and 285 miles per tank with a low of 236 and a high of 321. My actual fuel economy has averaged 18.3 MPG. The computer has always reported ~1 MPG higher than actual.

did you know when you hit the "power" button, you're basically doing a fuel dump:

So far I'm re-fueling at around 250 miles with about a quarter tank left. Computer says I'm getting right at 19 MPG. I'm still under 1k miles so nothing above 5.5k rpm yet. I expect MPG to drop very soon.

I'm about the same--filling up around 190-200 miles, with 20-30 miles to empty (approximately 75% city, 25% highway).

On the track, I estimate I'm getting around 5 mpg (although the digital display won't read any lower than 6.0 mpg). Next full track day, I'll have to remember to measure it more accurately.

I get around 215-235. Computer says 19.2MPG, which is downright wrong. Maybe 17.2 mpg for real.
