OK, this is just preliminary but...
This morning I filled the tank on the way to work (12.7 gallons +/-) which somewhat supports the notion that my "low fuel" warning is mostly accurate.
Then I drove around for the day doing my usual stuff, mixed driving between backroads, small town 30mph and interstate...before heading home I filled it again (both times I let the pump click off on its own). As long as the pumps and the trip meter are correct, I put in 1.9 gallons tonight, having driven 70.5 miles. My calculator says those 1.9 gallons gave me 37.1 mpg. I'll take that.
Early in the AM, I'm gonna take a trip and burn through the tank and see what happens.
