Yes, three digits maximum for the range, but that doesn't in itself explain why the Range in miles is limited to 620 ?

The range is displayed as the distance you can travel until you run out of gas at the current MPG you are generating as calculated by the computer.

Yes, obviously, but you're missing what I'm trying to say- I can drive 150 miles whilst the range is stuck at 620 miles, before it starts to go down - 620 miles is the maximum apparently that can be displayed... I was hoping there was a way around it

Come to think of it, I think your right. I can't recall what the highest displayed range was (in miles, but there were occasions that 800 + should have been reflected in the range but wasn't. I know I've seen 620. Time for a hyper mileage run to confirm.

Sorry if I misunderstood. Don't know if/why there would be a max range unless it was impossible to drive that far on a tank of fuel. I'm curious. Other than it shouldn't be that way, do you have another reason to want to increase the range capability?

My range capability is great , only the limitation of being able to show a maximum 620 miles, but I guess it's because 620 miles is about 999 km, which is the maximum that can be displayed.
I thought by switching from KM to miles, I'd out smart the cluster!
But no go...

I was asking why you would like the display to be able to show a higher number of miles than 620? Are fuel stations farther apart than 620 miles?

Nothing like the economy and consequential range of the 3.0 Diesel. Saw 39.7 on the display for a period on the same day. Granted I am not doing 75 mph, but our police have a firm dislike to exceeding the 110 km/hour limit, though they readily accept the $'s when you are caught.

Psh Max didn't have a range gauge on his V8 interceptor.
