RX350h MPG

I don't believe that there would be a 4-5 gallon reserve on any car. Mine took only about 12 gallons when I was some ways into the bottom box on the fuel level indicator. Distance to empty seems to be accurate and really indicate when your tank is nearly empty. I think the US Lexus data is off (to include the Owner's Manuals). There's no way that this car holds 17 gallons.
Here's a spec url from a Canadian site that shows the tank to be 14 gallons on an RX350h.

The screen in the above post is only shown when you turn the car off and do not have any doors open. If there is a door open, including the back door, this message will be covered up by the open door message. I was just showing off one of my best mpg trips. Hope that is what you are asking.

When the gauge shows empty, there should be about 2 gallons, plus or minus, left in the tank.

I am getting around 35-36 mpg in coastal NC with generally 6 mile one way trips driving a combination of 55 mph and 35 mph. I do drive very conservatively. I had one 200 mile trip driving freeway speeds (55 mpg-70mph) the whole trip where I got 36 mpg. Have 1500 miles on the vehicle so far. I perform a miles driven/gallons put into vehicle each time and compare it to the mpg the vehicle computes. In some cases my computation is 1-2 mpg less than the vehicle computation, in some cases my computation is 1-2 mpg more than the vehicle computation. As such, I think the vehicle computation is relatively accurate. Because of fuel flow, weather conditions, etc., there is no way for any of us to confirm our manual calculations are 100% accurate. I know if I fill it up each time I’m getting close to a full tank, but I have no way of telling if that level is 1/4 to 1/2 gallon more or less than my last fill up. I am resetting the current and historical trip information each trip.
I have never paid any attention to distance to empty on any of my vehicles. That computation is impacted significantly by your last trip. So if you made a 10 mile trip where you got 5 mpg, but you get 35 mpg on your other trips, the distance to empty will drop significantly because of your 5 mpg trip. It is amazing the number of people who tell me how many miles they get on a tank of gas (distance to empty) when I ask them what their mpg is. Means absolutely nothing to me. I fill up at 1/2 tank or occasionally at 1/4 tank. That’s easy for me to do now because I’m retired, but I’ve never waited for the low fuel light or a certain number of mile to empty to fill up. I know others do, but never made any sense to me.
