Distance to Empty
So today I filled up my 2017 diesel F-250 crew cab short bed when it showed that I had 10 miles "Distance to Empty." I had driven 445 miles on that tank and then filled up completely with 27 gallons of diesel. With a 34 gallon tank, I still had 7 gallons of fuel. If I'm getting 16.5 MPG, I still had (16.5 x 7) 115 miles left.
Is it normal to have that much fuel still in the tank when the computer says otherwise?
Thanks,
Mark

Several have reported this same thing. Either Ford has designed in a huge reserve or the computer will adapt with more time. Time will tell but no one I've heard has been able to put in more than 27 or 28 gallons.

A 30,000 psi pump running dry of the very stuff it needs to lubricate itself? No thank you very much.

Edit: I wish Titan would get their act in gear. I wouldn't mind not getting 7 gallons out of a 62 gallon tank.
