Computer Reliability

[raggle]

How reliable do people find the onboard computer in terms of MPG and miles left in the tank?

Also how long can you go on "0" miles fuel?

Cheers.

I have been 25 miles past "0" miles left and not had issues.

The computer seems to give better mpg figures than in real measurement.
(brim the tank - drive 500 miles - brim the tank - calculate mpg)

I posted the same question when first got my Pd130, and I found out after filling up when the computer says 0 miles left there was just over a gallon fuel left in the tank, which if I drive sensibly is anything between 35-60 miles depending if I’m on a motorway or not!

When the light comes on you have 7 litres left in the tank. Not sure how quickly the computer goes to 0 after the light comes on.

As said, fill tank, drive 500 miles, fill tank and calculate.
