Not to mention, I'm sure Nissan doesn't want the liability of telling you that you're gonna run out in 1 mile..... people will count on that and then get mad if its incorrect and sue because their car left them stranded in the middle of a bad area. Best way is to show the dashes for anything below 1 remaining gallon of gas.

I've learned, through a year of consistant driving habits, exactly how many miles I have to go before running out. I use both the gas gauge and odometer to provide me details and I can consistantly fill my tank up with 18.4 gallons (not bad for a 19 gallon tank) of gas. I can say that winter driving is eating up about 50 miles per tank that I didn't expect. I suppose it's from warming the car, running the heater, different winter gas blend, colder temps, etc.
