Fuel range meter

[BobaTeaNo]

I been noticing my fuel range meter gets lower everytime i fill up. My first fill up when i got my LC it was showing 311 miles. As of recent fill up it reads at 289 miles.

I have tried pumping more in after the first initial click indicating its full but does not increase or decrease on mileage range. I have only filled up at Chevron and Costco.
Current mileage i have is 7338,.
Should i take it in to the dealership or is normal for this to happen and settle later on? First time owner of a new car, hybrid, and the Land Cruiser. Still learning.

I believe the range reflects your recent fuel economy {mpg}. The range will reflect your recent type of driving. My hypothesis is that most of us are pretty gentle with the LC when it is new (break in period) and drive more aggressively after the first 1000 miles.

The range is determined based on your past fuel economy, so if that changes the range will change too.

Ahhh that makes sense, welp back to Sunday driving thank you

Is there a way to shut off the range display only?

Not that I am aware of.

I noticed the same. I had a range of 298 when I picked mine up and then it was down to 289 after a couple fill ups. It actually bumped up 20 miles a few days ago, but then bumped back down 10 miles when I was idiling while waiting for a parking spot to open (about a 10-15 min idle).

That meter is wired directly to the gas pedal.......LOL

Yeah my most recent fill-up I had 320 to empty. My first one was 298 or something.

I've mostly been driving like grandma.

So it would seem the ambient temperature has a dramatic effect on my mileage as when it was hovering around 0 degrees, I was getting mid to upper 17s. Now in the 50-60s getting 23.6 on my last two fill ups yesterday and today.

Girlfriend had a RAV4 hybrid and is seeing a similar occurrence.

Not complaining…just an observation. Tire pressure has not changed more than 3 psi (32-35) due to temp changes before moving.
