You got it. There are many considerations that go into the gauge: the weather, the temperature, your driving style, the route (if you are using the nav), etc.
I coded my car to use the Alpina display so my control display is the speedometer, the tach, the gas gauge and the oil gauge with just the miles remaining showing below the oil gauge. That is all I need. I use the miles remaining to allow me, when on local roads, to use up my electrons which I like to do (I bought the 530e primarily for environmental reasons).
