Exactly 46.7 miles as indicated by the odometer with cruise set for 65mph.

Of course, the odometer comes from the factory incorrect- it is ticking off an extra mile every 57.3 miles.

You can easily calculate how far your reserve is:

  • Find out the average MPG over several tanks

  • Refuel as soon as the light comes on and subtract the amount added from the total amount the tank will hold

  • Do this a couple times to get the average amount of fuel remaining once light comes on.

  • Divide total gallons left by average MPG.

**It is best to lower the average MPG in the equation you use by 1 or 2 mpg to be on the safe side.
