Lariat owners: What's yours say??

Just out of curiosity.. what's the Message Center say in YOUR 04-06 Lariat right after fill up, as far as number of miles till empty? When I first got my truck in July it said 441, and I was cheering, and then I watched it fall each time till it got down to about 250, which didnt make me too happy. Now that I have learned how to drive the truck based on its power, etc.. it sits at 325 Miles till empty EVERY damn time. That's crappy...

325(miles)/30gal = 10.83333333333mpg

But I guess that when the thing is on "E" you actually have about 5 gallons left, right. So, it works out more like this:

325(miles/25gal = 13mpg

Oh well, that's the price I pay for having the best built truck on the road.

Last time it said 419, but it's only the 4th tank. If I let the PCM settle into my Edge for a few tanks, and I reserve full throttle use for special occassions I think it will stay there.

From: Georgia on my mind...

I filled up yesterday and mine said 432. At best, I think I've seen 450-460 something, and at worst about 330. The sub 400s always comes after a trip to and from Texas, since I'm real heavy on the throttle (and usually towing a trailer) all the way there. When I get back from Texas, I usually reset the keep alive memory myself to clear those fuel heavy trims and drive it my usually, easy going way for a few days to reset everything to it's usual self.

I never get that many miles. I usually get around 350 out of a tank even though it starts at about 425

Well, see thats just it. Mine says 325, but I am lucky to get maybe 275 out of it. Still pretty crappy IMO.
