I was only 15miles off and the car completely went dead! At that point I had no idea what it was and thought the worst.

Anyway called the TheAA and they tell me ' mate you're tank is empty'

I was completely surprised and shocked as it said I had 120 miles left!

Anyone else had this similar issues. I usually trust my instinct and usually fill up, but as the computer said I had X amount I trusted it.
The fuel light comes on at around 50 miles remaining on my car, but I try not to let it get to that stage (if possible).

I don’t trust the fuel remaining readout because it drops rapidly! When the gauge gets to quarter, that’s when I usually add fuel.
