Tank and Tank to Empty Trip Computers
The Tank Trip shows different types of information in some cases from the other trips. The Tank Trip
substitutes TANK TO EMPTY data in place of MAXIMUM data.
For instance, the Tank Trip can show you MPG as well as the distance and the amount of time you
have traveled on the current tank of fuel. In contrast, the TANK TO EMPTY trip data will show you the
amount of remaining fuel in your tank and the approximate distance and time you can travel before
needing to refuel.
The Tank Trip information is reset each time you fill up your tank, and follow the Fill-up Procedure
shown on page 33.

The displays above tell you that if your mileage remains the same as it has since the last fill-up, you
have approximately 7.4 gallons of fuel remaining, and that you will run out of fuel in 102.8 miles in
about 1.8 hours.
The estimate of distance and time to empty is based on the economy that has been obtained so far on
the current tank of fuel. Right after refueling, these values will change fairly quickly. As more of the fuel
has been burned from the tank, the readings will stabilize.
It is possible to see the distance and time to empty increase as you drive. The distance can increase as
you drive at a steady fuel-efficient speed. This causes the fuel economy for the tank to rise; and applying
