6MT w/Navi (Fuel Economy Info.)
Hello folks,
I wanted to know other opinions on how accurate the average gas consumption is from their Fuel Economy Info. on the Navi. I was kinda freaked out yesterday, from the Fuel Eco. Info. It stated I had 20 miles left then quickly drop down to *** in a matter of 3 miles. Yes the Gas Light was on and I was hitting 310 miles before I did the fill up again. The G is daily driven on local streets w/AC on 50% of the time. Can you guys clear this up for me whether I was in the safe even though Eco. Info. stated I was out of miles?

For what it's worth, when both my Sedan's and my Coupe's navis said ****,
I still travelled over 40 miles without emptying.
Likewise with the low fuel light.....when it comes on I still had about 4 gallons left in the tank.

Wow, 40 miles. Isn't that pushing it?
