If you are just looking for input, my 19 Laramie Sport crew cab 33 gal (stock) always shows over 500 miles on fill-up. It just varies with the MPG recorded on the EVIC. I recall numbers as high as 570.

Most recent tank was 550ish - but due to COVID, roadways are emptier. It's a lot more efficient driving! Unless you're behind a scared elderly driver, then forget it. I would say "500ish" is a good rule of thumb. Sometimes under, sometimes over, depending on the MPG/efficiency of the most recent driving.

Stock rebel.
Latest fillup in the tank was 29.9 Gallons total

So I bought mine at the end of last week. (Has a 33 gallon tank) When I left the dealership it had a full tank of fuel (and 200 miles) and the fuel estimate said 380 miles. I’ve driven it the past three days, got it down to 3/4 tank and refueled, and it still estimates 380 range. Any ideas on why so low?

I've seen my in the 600s when on trips, which makes since since even when I get at least 19, that translates to 627-mile range.

In town is more like ~330 or so. :unsure::oops:

Reset your MPG in EVIC. The range is fluid and depends on your driving habits, amount of idling etc. Remember when idling you are getting Zero miles per gallon.

100% correct.

As an example, I took a trip with the fam yesterday just to get out of the house. After filling up, and getting on the highway, you can see the range is 393, because up until that point, I had reset my computer after filling the tank, and based on my city consumption it had been around 10MPG (I avg 8.5-10 MPG city. I have a stupid short commute).

Here's the reading about 17 min later. Had I kept going, it would kept adjusting based on the increased MPG to where it gets pretty darn accurate.
