How much mileage is my car suppose to give me?

[Pperez6048]

I got a 2016 corolla s with 29000 miles on it, I average 34.5 mpg as of right now and when I fill it up it estimates that it gives me 375 mile total but when the gas light turns on it only gives me like 340 total or so just before I fill up but I estimated that my car should give me atleast 455 since my gas tank is 13.2 an I average around 34.5.
Am I wrong or is something wrong?

2017 Corolla SE CVT 50th Edition

EPA 28city/35 Highway
13.2 gal capacity

First HALF tank 261.4 miles/ 6.53 gallons= 40.03 MPG

Second HALF tank 251.9 miles/6.12 gallons= 41.16 MPG

TOTAL MILES 513.3/TOTAL GALLONS 12.65= 40.57 MPG overall on a FULL tank.

Divide the gallons added at fill up from empty, divided into your mileage driven on that tank. Keep in mind altitude, road conditions (mountain or flat), driving style and even know quality of fuel all play a role in mpg

There's something called reserve. When your gas light comes on and your range reads 0, you actually still have 2-3 gallons available...

It was like that for a 08 TL I owned and now my current 2011 G37.

Wow, you guys are getting some mpg’s!
I’ve got 5000 on my 17 LE best tank to date is 32.4. 40 would be real nice.

 

[qmantran]

Be happy with 32...

My car averages 18mpg. My best is 21mpg.

I get 350 miles per tank and pay $50 every fill up for my 20 gallon tank.

As qmantran said, when the fuel light comes on, you still have about 2 gallons in the tank so, with your numbers, 70 mi.

Is your car a corolla? I didn’t say I was unhappy, but if there’s a way to get 40 I want to do it.

I work for Toyota. I find it entertaining browsing these forums and reading some of the stuff you corolla owners have to say

What do you do at Toyota, qmantran?

?? Got a v8 swap?

So I attached some images an this is probably the best mileage I ever gotten since i had this car. But shouldn't my estimated mileage change and give me more miles instead of staying the same, the only reason I'm asking is because I also own a 2014 Honda civic an with that one the miles will recalculate an increase my mileage when I'm driving good. Is that the same with everyone else?
