What is the range in miles displayed when you fill up your tank on the GX?

Mine has crept up to 310-315 over the past several thousand miles. First few thousand miles it was in the 295-300 range. I have 8k on it now, have taken two long trips (each about 3500 round trip, much interstate but some secondary). I drive over the speed limit 5-10 usually (just kidding if law enforcement is reading this).
Mine currently reads 295. Got to 300 two weeks ago. I’m guessing it will go south with my larger and heavier tires.
Last two fillups after long road trips, 330-340, but before that right below 300
I see approx 285, but when I fill it at "20 miles till empty" it never takes more than 17 gallons. I've never seen 300+.
Maybe I'm not filling it all the way up.
Getting same MPG and commute as a 5th gen 4Runner, but that will take 19.5 gallons if run that low. It will also read 310-345 per tank on full.
My understanding is they have the same size tanks.

My tank will show 50 miles of range - and when I fill it - only takes 16 gallons of gas. Way off the mark -
My miles-to-empty range is usually in the 250s after I fill up.
I just updated my spreadsheet with my 52nd entry (52 fill-ups....I've probably missed 3 or 4 fill-ups). My average gallons filled is 17.3, average miles driven is 249.4, average mpg is 14.44.

Asking what estimated range people get when filling up is just asking them what their typical fuel economy is.
The car only accounts for about 18 gallons (that’s about how much you will put in when you hit zero miles indicated due to how conservative Lexus/Toyota is).
So multiply your recent economy by 18 and that’s going to be pretty close to what the car will estimate. Are you on a long road trip and you’re getting 20 mpg? It’ll probably be over 350 next time you fill up. Are you driving around town mostly and getting 16 mpg? It’ll be in the 280s. Worse mpg? It’ll be even lower.
Also remember that you basically don’t even need to start thinking about filling up until you get close to when it says “refuel” at zero miles (unless you’re in the middle of nowhere) since you still have 3 gallons left at that point.
