I am a bit confused, if the manual says there is 1.7 Gal remaining when the warning light comes on and it was determined there is 1.5 Gal remaining when all the lights turn off, are we only burning .2 Gal from when the reserve light comes on to all lights off?
I really do wish the HCH II had all the features to show fuel remaining like all the suggestions on this thread. Our 2005 Jetta has both a digital instantaneous MPG, a digital range to empty as well as two average MPG computer settings.
I would love to take the HCH II as far as possible without running out of gas (and all the problems it would cause). I guess I am going to have to do like my wife and fill up within a few miles after only a single bar is lit. I'll never get to the 600 or 700 mile club that way but I'll have piece of mind.
