Just wondering what the range is for the Beech 1900. I was on a flight from DSM-MKE last week and overheard a member of the ground crew say that the pilot landed with 126 gallons. Is that cutting it too close?

I was feeling cramped after sitting on the aircraft for 1 1/2 hours and the guy in front of me at a bulkhead seat (1-B?) was 6'1' or so and obviously could not get comfortable.
