hello
2016LR4, 13k miles. Did a Vermont/NYC round-trip, 265 miles each way. The average fuel consumption computer came in at 20 mpg.
Dividing miles by fuel consumed gives me 16+ MPG
The Lo fuel warning came on when it showed 65 miles to empty, and when I filled it it only took 17.5 gallons
Shouldn’t these numbers confirm each other? The miles remaining was consistent with the 16+ MPG but not t he 20 that the computer everaged.
Should low fuel warning come on when there’s still 5 gal in tank? Never did so before.
Which should I rely on?
