[QUOTE="Klyphman, post: 2004665, member: 70781"] My 2023 has about 7500 miles now and I’ve done a number of road trips in it. My DTE is consistently far too conservative, to the point that I don’t really even trust it. Very typical: 20-40 miles remaining but it only takes 27-29 gallons. I just now filled up while showing 38 miles to empty and I finally have put in 30 gallons (30.303 gallons, to be precise) for the very first time! Since I’ve been averaging around 15 mpg for the last 2500 miles, that means I still actually had roughly 90 miles remaining. This is stupid IMO and also similar to the Tundra I had prior; the Toyota dealership said the tank is wide & long but has a short vertical dimension. That means a very small fluctuation vertically can translate to a relatively large volume of fuel, and so therefore the designers erred on the side of caution. The unfortunate reality is that I now must choose between two options: 1) Trust the DTE and effectively only have a 30 gallon tank, OR 2) Trust my experience and ignore the gauge. I will ask the dealership if they can somehow recalibrate it, but I’m pretty sure I already know the answer. My real life solution has been a combination of those two options, meaning that I usually drive further and run the tank down lower than I would if the gauge were accurate, but not far enough to get myself in real trouble.
