I don't even have a larger tank on my Lancer and the MTE is way the eff off. It will be semi close when I fill up, but when it gets "low" it starts screaming at me that I need to fill up. The one time it started screaming at me when I left work. I looked at the trip and knew I had plenty and I wanted to see how far I could push it. I drove 15 miles home. 10 miles to bowling, 10 miles home, 15 miles to work, and 5 miles to the gas station and I still had over a gallon left.

I don't think MTE is really accurate on many cars.

At least your says how many miles are left. Get to a certain point in the volt and it changes the range to LOW. Usually means you have about 1-2 gallons left I think.... in a 9 gallon tank.

Mine goes to --- after it thinks I am below 30 miles. The Grand Prix was the same as your Volt though.

My car does the same thing.

Ran into my twin at a gas station over the weekend while heading back from LA. Well sort of twin. He has the 3.0L Diesel, no boxes, and maybe a lift. Not sure. Anyways never been at the same place and time as someone with my same truck.

Took the Ram on our family trip to Idaho a couple weeks back. Boys loved all the leg room in the back.

I then go coerced into moving my parents out of one of their storage buildings. Thankfully the Ram was up to the task. My suspension however was not...

Image


Luckily we made it to my parents farm ok, but not without some work.

Image


Unloaded!

Of course we had to play a little on grandpas tractor.

Do it now before they get too big. Otherwise you may just have to put it towards a second Cappuccino. :lol:

I might have a solution for that then. I shared the video with my father in law and he says "they sell those cool Ram trucks at Tractor Supply"? He has a newer Power Wagon and really likes it, so this would be up his alley for the grand children.
