Fuel gauge

[aceinspp41]

Got a question about the number you see buy the fuel gauge which mine said 260 after a fill up. Now if I scroll through the menu and see distance to empty shows 426 miles. What am I missing on the number by fuel gauge? Later RJD

What is your average mpg?

You might be looking at an instantaneous estimate vs something more cumulative. The gauge seems to be computed on long running average to be extra conservative.

I get 15.1 mpg with a range of 256 miles when just filled up (living in nyc)

Are you scrolling through the menu to view your mpg there? It differs from what you read by the gauge on the dash. Later RJD

Is it like the current one where it shows cumulative unless reset?

You can not set the one by the fuel gauge. I have not figured out what those numbers mean. You have to go to the menu to reset actual miles till empty and mpg. Later RJD
