Default Cruising Range

Was wondering about other owner's experience with the Cruising Range. On my first tank. I was pushing it a bit and didn't want to pull off the highway for gas. I kept the cruising range screen on and got more nervous as we were approaching our final destination. We went from Ottawa, Ontario to Hamilton. (Started out with only 1/2 tank remaining). Anyway... the km left till empty were clicking away. 14, 13, 12, Me getting more and more nervous. My wife wasn't concerned. Right after 12, it flashed down to 0 km left on the cruising range, right before my eyes! Boy I was surprised. I probably drove another 5 km before I found a gas station.

So... I got a total of 820 km from my first tank. I filled up the tank till it clicked off. It took 55 litres of gas. This was my first tank. (not sure if the dealer filled it up proper or if the comp. left me with extra gas, not calculated in the cruising range. btw. the computer said I got 6.9 litres of fuel / 100 km for that tank. Very curious to here other's experience My gas low warning light went on when my cruising range was about 45 km remaining.
