Filled up tonight with 7 miles remaining on the display!! Put 60.45 Litres in so there must be a bit in hand cos I thought the 8 th gen has a 65 litre tank?
In the Accord, old, 25 miles after light on, 8g down to 15 estimated, loaner Jazz, actually got to 1 as i hit the forecourt.. had been, what's annoying (noticed with the Jazz) is that you get home and it tells you that you have more than what you need for the next journey.. start said journey and it's dropped by 20M by the time you start it.... grrr

Personally I wouldnt let it drop to below 30 miles. After that, you just ingest all the gunk/cra p from the bottom of the fuel tank. Rather silly "exercise" in my view. You still have to fill up anyway, so why let it get so low and risk possible engine contamination?
I have hit 0 miles before and when i filled up, it filled 66.4 litres. I guess I was truly into the reserves!
1 thing i will say, in the Accord when it says 0 miles remaining, its pretty damn close to running out.
On average though, I fill with around 2-3 litres left in the tank (before hitting the reserve-reserve), so usually my fill ups are around 62-63 litres.
And to date, I am averaging 37.15MPG, yes accurate to 2 decimal places
