Fuel range reading

Just picked up my new FL2 LE which had just short of a full tank of fuel. On the drive home flicked to fuel range and noticed it was at 167 miles. After a few miles it did increase to 201 miles.

Is this right as it sounds way off to me?

Cheers Thumbs Up

Panic set in when I thought I would only get 200 miles on a full tank!!

First FL2 so compared it to my kuga which showed 500+ as soon as you filled it
