Thanks for all the replies!!! Sounds like it’s a mystery. I generally never allow it to go under 1/4 tank, but since it is new I am trying to get an idea of the range and what not. I guess only poor planning and bad luck will I truly know how far I can go :)
Like others have said try not to get it down that low for a number of reasons.
For me I have always tried to fill by half if for nothing else than a break from driving. The other big reason is that in an emergency under half limits your options a lot more. I have had to detour to a road that was more miles and with no services. With a generator having to spend an extra day or two in a place that you can not easily get to a gas station (packing up and driving to get fuel only to return to the campground is not fun) or getting stuck in traffic. With having lots of fuel not a problem. I guess a lot of that goes to my be prepared mentality. Even today I have three vehicles my dd and two RV's and they all have their tanks full just in case.
