Post Your DTE (Distance to Empty) Here!!!

They did this @ dodgetalk for gassers 34 gallons tanks and diesels weren't allowed.....

Post your picture of your best DTE on your overhead. This will give a better idea of what kind of fuel economy most of us are getting in our trucks...

Be sure to post your mods if they're not in your sig..SRW, DRW, gears, tires size auto/manual, Tone ring, etc...THEY ALL MATTER!! OH YEAH...You GOTTA tell us if you did the tank vent mod!!!


Braggin' rights are the only prize unless the powers-that-be and a sponsor or two decide otherwise!!

I don't trust it so I never use it.
Filled up today with 22 gallons and had about 500 miles on the trip meter.

Mine has never read over 500DTE. It usually reads 460-480 range. And that's even after the fuel tank vent mod!!!!????? My average mileage read out is always 1-2mpg low also!!!

My DTE maxes out at 620. While running moderate speeds in flat lands, after a fill-up, it will sit at 620 and not drop for 50 or 60 miles.

At one point last week, my trip mileage + DTE was 726 miles!
