    I’m calling BS. I think SHE has a trunk full of canisters. I have never driven a car that gives expected distance on available fuel when it’s less than 50Km. Also she must be russian #7694 driving around in a car while recording complaining not being able to get fuel.

    In short, you still have way too much …

      I’ve driven my car until it shows 1km and then 0km expected distance, and then a few kilometers more.

        I take your word for it, but when you are so low on fuel (1 or 2 liters), the calculation becomes meaningless. That’s why they usually stop showing it.

          But there are cars that do it. Just because you never saw it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

        A lot of vehicles have ‘reserve’ fuel, where the meter simply doesn’t read the last ~3-5% percent of the fuel tank, so you think you’ll be out sooner and choose to visit a gas station before you actually end up stranded.

        I’ve also grown up in snowy mountainous regions and been taught anything under 1/3 of a tank is considered empty. Always keep reserve fuel so you have heat when/if you get stuck in the snow.

      The Ford Fiesta (2017) I used to own, happily kept showing the exact expected range all the way down to zero
