It's grown on me, and now I like it as well. My '06 350 would have the warning and miles to go come on with about 3.5 gallons left in the tank. The first time the 370 warning popped up, I re-fueled and it took 16.5 gallons.... same warning. Nissan must think they need to warn you early, because the "miles left to empty" is less than the actual fuel left in the tank. One time on a long trip in my girlfriends Altima, we screwed up and didn't watch the fuel (road weary). We were on a long stretch of deserted interstate. The "miles left to empty" ran down to that "--" on the screen. We drove another 30 miles before we hit a gas station. I think Nissan plots empty to leave you about 1 1/2 gallons in the tank as an emergency measure.
