According to my owners manual, DTE computed (US) gallons remaining * 28 MPG.
Now, sometimes after fillup my DTE > 600miles, divided by 28 MPG = way more gas than my tank should hold. But I digress! My point is, better to watch odometer than trust DTE, IMO.
SID MPG's seems pretty close to odo / gallons to fill, for me ~31 mpg summer.
I learned my 'vast expanses' lesson in the Adirondacks, traveling from Speculator towards Syracuse. Not Utah, but I'm halfway thru a 2 gallon tank on my bike, saying 'No way I'm spending $1.75 gallon!' (16 years ago - 2 gallon tank!!) Well, I found out why the inflated price.
I did make it to Utica, several ghost towns and 30 more miles than I had ever been on a tank. Waiting to make that walk - sticks with you!
