The internet tells me the truck has a 13.8 gallon fuel tank. Make note of how much it took to fill up. Subtract that amount from 13.8 and that should tell you how much fuel was remaining (so you have an idea of how accurate the distance to empty is). Every vehicle I've driven has been extremely conservative on fuel warning lights and distance to empty estimates. The Prius low fuel light would come on when there was still 2 gallons of fuel left, meaning 100 miles of range.

Anyhow, those MPG figures are insane. I don't think I could draft behind a semi in my 2.4L Acura at 60 MPH and get that good of fuel economy. My car is extremely aerodynamic too.
