miles to empty?

Can someone with a new 150 Lariat tell me how many "miles to empty" are reported at a fill up?

Thanks,
David

just as a note, don't forget to state which gas tank you have, 26 gallon 9standard) or 35.7 gallon (optional).

My truck has been in the shop for the past 2 weeks (remeber it was keyed) so I can't say for sure, but I think it was about 340 miles on the 26 gallon tank.

Mine is right @ 400 miles if I remember right, and that is with the 30 gallon tank.

My mileage has not been quite as good as some of the others have posted.

We are getting between 13 & 14 tops.

But my foot is in it, and it will run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will vary. Also, it won't matter depending on how much you fill/overfill the tank. My 99 Expy will show 4XX to empty and run down about 100 miles and then reset ito 4XX miles f I pack it full. Until the gas guage starts moving the miles to empty can be off. Also, remember that the miles to empty is based upon a rolling average fuel economy. If you have just driven 500 miles on the interstate and then start driving downtown it will be off.

edit clarification

Mine reported 421 MTE at my last top off, with a 30 gallon tank. I'm getting about 14, or so, MPG according to the message center. If I reset it, I get 18.... for a few minutes I suspect (and hope) it will rise a bit once it's broken in.
