2025 RHO
Current Ride #2
98 GMC
Driving home from work yesterday, the low fuel light came one with 72 mile range remaining and 1/4 of a tank left. According to the gauge bottom right. I mean, know its not efficient but come on. Ha! Never seen this above 45 range left.

What yall seeing?
 
Don't have my RHO yet, but my 2022 Rebel does the exact same thing. It comes on with like 1/8th of a tank left lol.
 
Mine seems to come on with about 1/4 tank left. I don't understand why and many times it says LOW at around 50 miles.

Same here. I’m the 70s when mine turned on. I was a bit surprised but …
 
YUP, mine even has come on with more than a 1/4 tank. Thirsty bitch. LOL
Ha! yea. At 12.5MPG currently. Doing better then my 2500 at 10MPG. With less than 30 gal tank, towing or not, was filling up before I hit 300 miles.

Have a 315 mile or so trip tomorrow. Going to test my range. Hoping for 400 plus.

I got as low as 64 miles left and didn't get a warning light. Most cars are 50 miles left to get the warning.
 
My TRX turns the light on at exactly 50 miles remaining. I’m kinda surprised to see all these comments about higher thresholds.
 
Could not be happier with 17 plus.

Congrats! But the weird part is that you have a full tank of gas, and that mileage should get you much more range than 406 miles.

That’s not weird. He reset the average mileage gauge while coasting to brag on his MPG with this picture… but forgot the hard evidence is in the full tank mileage on the right 😂

Ain’t nobody averaging 17 MPG with a RHO in normal use!

It did. Took the picture early on my drive. Went around 330 ish miles yesterday and should have 100 range remaining.

Dang dude. Trying to call me out. Haha.

Ok ok. Got you some receipts. Trip from Baton Rouge to Destin Florida. About 70% interstate. Mixed driving between 76 and 80. Truck did well.

And what about the tire pressures? Why so high? 38 psi is really all that should be used.
Came from the dealer with 40. Heat from the road bumped that up. Rides fine at 45.
 
I got the warning the first time last Sunday, coming back from Oklahoma. I figured I would run it as close to 0 as I could to eliminate the 91 Octane OK offers and put a tank full of 93 back in. - Texas FTW! However, umm, a friend is considering the JB4 Tune or Diablo, so when in Oklahoma, the E85 can be used... :cool: He may be curious about what would happen if this tune were applied and E85 were run, and what would occur if the tank were not fully drained before reintroducing 93 back in. Should we road trip back and forth? Asking for a friend, of course. ;) - When it comes to MPG, I have yet to see anything above 12 MPG in this RHO when daily driving. I got 14.4 MPG driving to Grand Lake in OK from Dallas, but the truck did most of the driving. It seems when my foot hits the peddle, that MPG falls, significantly. WOT seems to impact it and I seem to always want to do that.

More you step in the worse it gets! Tried my best to be good but cruising, look down and approaching 90. Truck makes it way too easy.

Should give some context. Only had this thing for a week. I filled up Wednesday evening second tank ever with 91. No 93 near me. Rest the clock. Station is 5 min from my house. Loaded up yesterday morning.

We took off at 9:30am. Waze told me we will arrive at 2:26. Ended up spending right at 6 hours on the road. Never shut off the engine with two stops. Waze diverted us off the interstate for a solid hour.

Pleased with 16.6. I average 12 daily commute and if you live in Baton Rouge you know why. Way more efficient than my last truck but I did not buy for efficiency.
