It appears that the trip computer calculates based on a 17 gallon tank. (well 16.9)
My TC shows that I have 150 miles to E and 165 miles traveled with a calculated average of 18.6 mpg. Lexus is very generous with their 'reserve capacity'.
what mpg is showing on your Dash? Mileage remaining shown will vary based on your current mpg....But as stated above...you will likely get a fuel light when you have used around 17 -18 gal of gas.

So I’m reading that the mileage to empty is really miles left to 16.9 gallons then you go into reserves, last 4 gallons or so. That makes sense because Ive only ever been able to put 12 gallons of gas in to fill it up. Im going to go past that “miles to empty” number and see if I can actually get closer to putting 17 gallons of gas in the tank.
