I'm the other person that was confused by the picture. I would expect the range without using reserves would be much closer to the range with using reserves, and not so close to the departure airport. The picture looks like it is from a very fast airplane (jet) that took off with very little usable fuel. Maybe it is just the scaling of the picture.
