I have had the DTE go down to 0 (and gas light on) and filled up and only put 12 gallons in! Its got a bigger tank than the 370Z being at 19.5 gallons. The issue is *much* worse on the GT-R. I would say 1.5-2 gallons is typical to have in the reserve when DTE goes to -- on the 370z.
370z fuel tank is 19 gallons so the GT-R is only .5 bigger.
Honestly the fuel tank takes into a lot of factors but it is terrible all around. I can sit in the top 2-3 dots for a few days and then in the next 24 hours be well below half a tank with the same driving.
