Just a curiosity question

I see it says our fuel tank is 61L

Yesterday I was down to 29km left so about 2L of fuel, so was pretty empty

Refuelled, to click point
Check reciept it's 53L

Is this the petrol pumps setting and my fuel tank would still theoretically have 7L of spare space?

In the states it’s 16 gallons. It’s pretty spot on, if Im 20 mi till empty it took 14.8 gallons to fill up the other day.

The distance to empty will change with your style of driving. Perhaps you were hammering it prior to filling it back up.

Pretty consistent to be honest, as I'm still breaking It in
But you make a fair point!

I've noticed that in Ford vehicles the distance to empty is very, very conservative. When it shows 0 km to empty you can still drive for at least thirty kilometers, if not more. So I wouldn't estimate the remaining fuel based on the distance to empty. It's entirely plausible that you still had eight liters in the tank.

Yes I've noticed that too. Once it was saying 2km to empty but i still did about 16km to the patrol station but wouldn't do that again as I believe it is not good for the fuel pump to got that low.
