When I refilled, the actual mileage between fill-ups was exactly 280 miles. Guess the computer was right! Anyway, my average since purchase is 17.8 mpg. I'm closing in on 5,000 miles.

You need to look at the trip meter, not the mileage range - the mileage range would be normally 280 of course. The trip meter will be very different, depending if you drive in the city or the highway.

No. I was saying that my actual mileage from the odometer ended up being 280 miles (4,767 - 4,487). I thought it ironic to be so exact since the estimated mileage range was stuck there for so long when I first filled up and posted earlier. After filling up again, the range was back at 280. So the computer must be pretty accurate after all. That's what I was saying.

Oh LOL. That's so right on. That's like 100% accurate.
