Yep. I've done this to every vehicle I've ever bought within 1000 miles of new.
9 cars and 14 motorcycles.
Now I know - if I drive it relatively the same way and fill it the same way - exactly when it will die.
Full fill up (to the top of the filler neck) to 62 miles PAST when it initially said "0 miles to empty."
That can't be good for the fuel pump... But impressive tho!
The dealer will never know when the car implodes because of my horrific neglect and terrible misuse. LOL

516 miles in total
I don't remember you have a Touring or GT, FWD or AWD? If you have a FWD with 14.8 gallons of fuel tank capacity, it doesn't add up, as you almost filled 15.1 gallons. If you have AWD with 15.3 gallons then it makes sense but your 34.2 MPG (516/15.1) for an AWD seems impossible.I sputtered out and dumped in exactly 1 gallon. Then I filled it up to the very top - right to the top of the neck and it took 14.1 gallons.
It was 2.4 miles from the dead spot to the gas station.
Let's discount the obvious potential for trouble here! We have dirt clogging the filter...Drop the tank and repair/replace filter.
Fuel pump seizes due to lack of lubrication. Replace the filter and pump!
Dirt getting past the filter and into the engine...Ugggh!
Car stalled. Got out - put a gallon in and drove to the gas station.
9 cars - 14 motorcycles - 0 fuel pump issues = priceless.
Whoa, you're getting 34.2 MPG on a brand new CX-5 GT AWD! How did you do it? Unobtanium definitely will be very jealous!GT - AWD
I'm not trying to make sense of the #'s - just reporting them.
