Reserve light question
Okay...When my low fuel light comes on and the display is showing miles remaining, does that mean miles left until I hit reserve and have a gallon or so left, or does that mean how many miles I have left until EMPTY? I haven't run her that low yet... THanks!

I guess I am somewhat surprised...The few times I have gotten down to a dozen or so miles on the display, I couldn't even get five gallons in the tank!

+1 - Three times, down below ten miles left on the display, 5, maybe 5.1 gal of fuel in a 6 gal tank.

RE: Reserve light question
last Sunday my low fuel light came on, miles counted down until it went to LO. There where no gas stations in sight. I am new to using my zumo and didn't even think about using it to find nearest fuel until I had ran a few more miles and started to sweat a bit. Zumo said there was a station four miles ahead and I had been seeing LO on the display for several miles.
I got to the station feeling very lucky and was probably running on fumes. The tank held 5.2 gallons. I am not really bitching though. That is alot better than it saying I have 20 miles left when I am dry.
