I make about 380-400mi/tank when the distance to empty reads 20-30mi and I believe it goes much quicker than that.

Do you guys find you distance to empty accurate at all?

No. Ever since I started tuning it wacked out. Tells me 600 miles to empty, which is impossible.

36 gallons @ 11mpg is 400gallons tops. For some reason the first tune reset it to like 16mpg. And I'm definitely not getting that, so as the tank empties the number jumps to zero unevenly.

The 600 number happened to me with the 5star tunes for sure. Have not paid much attention but the SCT canned did same. SVC today gave me a 405 dte (distance to empty) which is why I noticed and posted this.

I believe I am leaving 2-3 gallons in tanks before fillup.

That's good to know. I think a 400 something is more accurate. But now I have Dashcommand and the gallons left readout is pretty accurate. Found out I actually have 37 gallons...

Hmm, I wonder if Prius or Smart car forums have threads dedicated to how to get more horsepower/acceleration/payload out of their engines?

Like most guys on here my 13 SCrew has a lifetime MPG of 12.2 (1300 miles so far)

Unlike most people on the MPG thread.... Im stoked! I love my truck, and as long as it doesn't drop below a lifetime of 10, I really dont care, I didnt buy a Raptor to be a gas miser... CFL (Care F~<king Less)

As a side note, I do a mix of city/highway. On the way to the motocross track with bike and gear running 70-75 it does an easy 15mpg. City is 11.5-12.5 depending on the amount of idling/romping...

Well its been almost a year of owning my truck, 13,000 miles on it now, mid perch and a Borla exhaust and my avaerage is up to 13.4!! Lifetime average is 13.1.... Still love this thing.
