78.5 miles for me - 2.8 gallons left in CX5 FWD. Drove a rental 3 and it had 50 miles range and drank 9.4 gallons. This is poor tank range overall. Would love an extra gallons worth or 2.

I wish it had at least an 18gal tank.

Not as far as you can on full. It seems a strange subject unless you live in the outback where fuel isn*t available on every street corner. You could have a vast fuel tank but it would still need fuel at some stage. It*s just more weight to lug around.

42. Always 42.

How far is variable. It's just over 2 gallons of reserve. If you're in stop and go traffic you won't get as far as on the highway. It could be 0 miles if you're just idling.

Says the guy with a fuel efficient diesel. My range to the light coming on is about 300 miles. 400 miles would be much nicer.

I filled the tank in my 17 CX-5 AWD a couple miles after the fuel gauge/Miles to Empty read zero. It was full after putting in just over 13 gallons, so there should still have been 2 gallons available.

While towing, getting about 19mpg, my calculated range is usually under 250 miles after filling up, so I wouldn't mind another few gallon capacity, but realistically, after 250 miles, I'm probably read for a break anyway.

It varies based on your average MPG just as the fuel gauge is scaled off the average MPG. The gallon amount seems to be about 2. When I fill up with between 0 and 50 I easily put 13.5+ gallon m. I have awd.
