I dont think its a fault but its kind of annoying that when the fuel light comes on it will say 60-70 kms left of fuel. I will do about another 5-10km and it has states you have about 30-40 kms left, 2 seconds later it starts flashing.
This is all while under normal drving conditions, no driving hard.

I find that on my car "kms left to empty" seems to work as I'd expect. If I drive hard, it reduces the "kms left", If I drive gently it goes back up. I haven't run it all the way to empty, but this week I went from 70km to 50km left, and I'd done about 20km. It certainly doesn't drop from 60km to 30km to none in a few km like Yutzi's does.
If I remember correctly, you can reset the fuel economy meter (if that's what it's called). It's one of the settings on that useless orange screen that I wish showed a digital speed read-out. Anyway, maybe yours needs resetting Yutzi (I'm assuming it is used in the kms left calculation).
I did find the last light on my fuel gauge was not lighting, but the last two fills I have made sure I filled the tank right up. That fixed it. It seems there is a lot more room after the pump clicks off.
