how accurate is....

how accurate is the amound of litres left in the tank on the digital display when you hold on the trip computer and turn the key?

mines was down to 1 litre left but was unsure how accurate it was so filled up before i ran out

When it gets low its not that accurate. IIRC when the trip computer gets to below 35 miles before you run out of fuel it shows ----

im talkin about when u hold in the trip computer button and turn ignition key and then click through it where it tell u how many litres per hour ur using and what litres u have left.

i know it says ----- when it gets very low

Isn't that the oil? Or am I thick?

If it says 1litre, i would be filling up mate. I would never trust it to be accurate to 1litre.

about as accurate as sticking your finger in the air to see how cold it is

I filled up when it hit 1litre I reckon it must be fairly accurate to within a litre or two, it said I had 5 litres left after the dash fuel display went blank which if it was really accurate means I only get 30 miles to 5 litres of fuel lol
