the fuel gauge is like my audi it depends on how you drive it.

1 min no bars 2 mins later 3 bars. best to look on average 240 miles unless behind Rahul ( I have heard 1 tank 100 miles)

Once the light comes on 15-20 miles is possible with a fair wind

once the last bar goes you get 15-20 miles,not just the light!
