Yes, the tank size could be bigger but the Range Meter is Horrible

From a programming point of view, there are way to many variables including your changing driving habits, temperatures, winds, road terrain, load weight, etc. to make a perfect "estimate" as you are driving over a few days or weeks. That said, they may be able to make it better with a software update, but it is still just an estimate based on conditions over the past xxx miles of your driving.

I don’t think people expect a perfect estimate, they just expect it to be less than 2 gallons/40 miles off.

Better to have a bit extra than to run out unexpectedly.

I have noticed my range has increased after doing commute to work and my truck has new lightweight wheels on 285/70/17 falken AT4W SL. The mpg has gone up to 20 from 16.5 (stock tires in 285 tires).. I am getting 305 miles per tank now. Before the new wheels, it was 230-250. I can say this 4G is giving me way better MPG than my old 3G tacoma w 6MT and E load range tires!

A bit off topic but I'm interested in the light weight wheels you got! What brand is it and how much they weight? I'm looking into getting something a little lighter and I found Tirerack's data can be different that what the wheel manufacturer publish.
