    I Think this will always depend on a lot of factors. The computer most likely assumes that you will maintain your driving style that you had and calculates a range using this.
    So if you drive like a hooligan and then take it easy after the light comes on, there will be much more range

    part of the reason the world records for speeds are mostly attempted on salt lakes is that salt provides a better friction surface than tarmac. so tires can grip better. so that "salty surface" you described in fact is an advantage point.

    Low was equivalent to 10 miles. So, I would say 0 miles to go was 10 miles later. That being said, I would say the reserve is 16 miles. Great video!

    3.5 for lower temperature and lower gas in the tank. Good video, I was planning to do this but you already got it so saves my time and gas.
