Full tank is showing a 440 mile range now which I have never seen.

my 2007 gs450h has only shown 380 or 390 miles left on a full tank max. I average about 24.5 to 25 mpg and I drive slow

Doctorprius.com is in Virginia. There is another persn in Dallas TX if thats closer for you $550 for 3 month warranty up to $1600 for lifetime

I have the same issues as you did before.

Thanks.
