Two weeks ago I made another long trip to LA. On the return trip, strange thing happened to the data displayed in Range to Fuel when it was approaching to 96 miles left and I thought I could stop for refuel at around 30. Anyway I had to make a quick stop. At the time I got back on highway, the range was read less than 60 miles. The analog gauge also dropped further to E. This is weird - a lost of 30 miles after a stop.
Last week I did a full refuel when the range showed 16 miles left. The full refuel was 11.7 gal. I was surprised there was more than 3 gal. left with range of 16 miles. The math does not add up correctly. With 3 gal., range should show more than 80 miles or more (I expect 90 miles with my hybrid). The readout from the trip computer is not stable at least when it comes 1/4 left. The range reads over 460 miles when it is filled up in the past couple refuel. The variation of range estimation is way too off. My average fuel consumption from the Start is read 31 mpg. Anyone see such inconsistency?
