I managed my first 800+ mile tank. DIC v/s the math was within .1 MPG. I had 60 miles until empty per the DIC. I believe a 900 mile tank will be fairly easy on a long trip. I keep loving this car more every day!
Yep!567Chief, did you get pictures of the DIC and gas pump showing the tank mileage and fillup? I didn't realize diesel fuel in the US also had winter blends.
Uh, burning 16.8 gallons of diesel fuel out of a 15.6 gallon tank takes more than a little "magic", ie:
16.8 GALS = 800.4 MILES / 47.6 MPG
Driving styles and enviroment play a factor as well. My best MPG in my gas ECO is straight turnpike or freeway for high speeds and 34 mpg in 4th gear or 43 in 6th gear coast in non conjested city night time driving. Lowest speed I can hold in 6th is 37mph and thats pretty much a down hill coast an no acceleration power whatsoever. My 17's are set to 46 PSI all 4 corners.Still amazed at the mileage some of you get. My best tank has been 42 mpg. Never been able to keep the average above 46 for very long. I do drive conservatively and coast to stop lights as much as possible. Pretty much already been driving the way the fuel economy thread says. Got in the habit of it driving my RAM 2500. My tires are set at the correct pressure. Maybe y'all are driving slower?

this is the diesel section, not gasolineI was reading Don't Top Off Your Gas Tank! | Mid-Atlantic Air Protection and apparently pumping those last few gallons might not be such a great idea after all.
Congrats on a very impressive tank! I personally could never do this. I enjoy the power that this car has to offer too much. You must be the guy on the road that I'm thinking to my self "w(why)tf is this guy doing 40 in a 55"I managed my first 800+ mile tank. DIC v/s the math was within .1 MPG.
