Low fuel warning very conservative?
After running a few tanks low (around 50 miles remaining) and then refueling, I noticed that it was taking less then 19 gallons to fill back up.
This last tank, I ran it down to 10 miles left on range. Refueled and it took 19.4 gallons. So another 3.1 gallons left in the tank. I'm estimating only about 2 of this gallons are usable. Still that would be roughly another 45 miles till completely empty based on my MPG.
That's really conservative and getting a low fuel warning that early on is very different than every other car I have owned.
Anyone else experience the same thing?
