    Gotcha. I'm always trying to figure out what I CAN get lol. I cut it pretty close to empty. Fill up then zero the trip meter. Divide how many miles were on the trip meter by how many gallons I just put in it. If people do that they will see the electronic number being displayed isn't accurate anyway. It's just a projection. Like dude who must have a 23 gallon tank. Its simple math.

    Yeah I've always found the distance to empty in most of my vehicles to be pretty useless - maybe a helpful indicator if I'm on E and need a gut check but I rarely let it get that low. These days I generally just keep my pop-up display on the compass/speed limit view and occasionally flip over to the others (like tire pressure after temp changes / altitude or pitch/roll when offroad).

    The most I go is 10 miles once the light come on, dont like the idea of pushing this thing on a hot day...
