My range in the FC on the highway is about 350 miles, +/-. Last year I left home with an almost full tank, had my 1st fill-up with about 1/8 tank left maybe 1/2 way thru VA, and would have made it all the way to NHV with my low fuel idiot light on, but I filled up at that last gas station in town before hitting NHV, since it was my 1st time there and I didn't know how much farther I had to go. Total trip was about 685 miles. Weird thing is that DGRR return home trip was the best mileage I EVER recorded on my FC - I got 24.9 MPG out of my last tank.
