I NEVER go off of that since that's calculated based on your average mpg and your current level of fuel left in the tank. Set your OBC to show the countdown till empty next time you're close to empty and drive around on cruise control for a while, it will almost be correct as far as the countdown goes. (i.e. 50 miles left) then, out of nowhere, FLOOR it, and watch the countdown DROP. You'll got from 50 miles left to 45 miles left in less than a mile. So, my question for you is, how accurate is this?

Awesome, thank you. Now, sorry for the noob question, but as I said, I have never accessed the hidden menu, I just knew about it. Would you mind posting instructions on how to get into the hidden menu and view the menu for the amount of fuel in the tank? I don't care if it's in litres, I can do the conversion to gallons. I just want something to show a numerical value of how much gas is in the tank. Would make it easier to calculate E85 content.
