yup, 29 miles, but that i think is based on your MPG that it figures out, which is apparently not very accurate, so take that into consideration when pushing the car to its limits.

Its not very accurate at all. I've went all the way down to 0 on the DTE and I still only put 16.5 gallons in.....our tanks are 18.5 gallons. When the gas gauge starts flashing there is normally about 4 gallons left in the tank too.

So thats what you have left when its THAT LOW.
If it blinks you should fill up ASAP.
