The chart doesn't do anything for you if you don't already know you gph rate at any given mph.
If you know your gph at a given speed you can use the chart to calculate range at a given speed.(if you accurately know how much gas you have)
If you accurately know your gph, you probably have a electronics telling you your range.

Exactly!
I was lucky enough to be within a gallon of my actual fuel level as to what the gauge said.
Having the gph fuel consumption device and something like a gps for mph was the only way to get close. Doing the math does the rest.
