On other vehicles I have seen they typically calculate take your remaining fuel and divide that by your average fuel economy or your instant fuel economy. While I only looked at the video once, I noticed the fuel gauge read full and there was about a 300 mile range. Somewhere, I am sure there is a tank capacity listed on this site, however I simply haven't searched for it. We could probably figure out how it is calculated from that info. My guess, if it is like my Sierra, it what is expected until the tank is empty. One would think you could watch it tick away to 0, but the wife's Honda switches over to LOW when it gets close to 10 or so.
