if i remember mine is between 40 and 45 miles does that sound about right.

i once got stuck in between stations and must have driven at least 15 miles
with gauge blank. no dots = how many miles left.

I had a similar experience. At 2 dots I got a dash warning light and the left side computer read 45 miles, which quickly became 42 and a minute later 33 mile range. At about 12 mile range it went ---- and when I did find a station another 5 miles later, no dots, I only needed 17.4 gallons.

If you want to set the little lady off, mention our drive in the country and I didn't have enough gas. It is good fun, especially if she is being quiet around my friends.

I agree with what other members said. I believe the inconsistency is because of the "V" shaped gas tank? (I could be wrong). This is why I ALWAYS fill up at 3 dots. However, I did drive up to 40 miles with "---" once. That was scary
