Question for 2011 QX Owners re: gas tank

[RobW]

Just to follow up on the gas gage thread. Could new QX owners let me know how many gallons of gas they get in a tank when filling up from empty? I would expect to see 24 gallons when the dash shows a range of 0. i want to be able to tell dealer that my problem (it only takes 19 gallons) is not a design feature.

Thanks,
RobW

I have been able to fill up 23.5 gallons on my 2011 QX56. I have been getting about 15.3 miles per gallon. I normally don't rely on the fuel guage or range of miles on the display. Wasn't very accurate on my FX 45 either. I just go by how many miles I drive on a tank. My usual fill up is around 20 to 22 gallons. Hope this helps

Exactly the same for me.

This is a pretty bad design flaw.
