My owners manual says that when the needle hits "E" there is .98 (sic) gallons left. It also says the gage is "approximate".
(Who says Honda doesnt have a sense of humor?)
It also appears to me that the gage is non-linear. I believe there is no idiot light to say you are about out.
Since the MPG computer lies like a politician, how do you manage YOUR fuel?
On my Connie, I have an adjustment so I can set the fuel gauge to read "E" right when it goes on reserve.
There is no such safety margin on the NT. When you hit bingo fuel, you are probably just gonna go to the side of the road and maybe overheat the fuel pump.
Coward that I am, I need a valium if the needle touches the red. Do you just use the trip odometer and pay attention to the headwinds or what?
