I'm calling BS. I think SHE has a trunk full of canisters. I have never driven a car that gives expected distance on available fuel when it's less than 50Km. Also she must be russian #7694 driving around in a car while recording complaining not being able to get fuel.

In short, you still have way too much .........

I've driven my car until it shows 1km and then 0km expected distance, and then a few kilometers more.

I take your word for it, but when you are so low on fuel (1 or 2 liters), the calculation becomes meaningless. That's why they usually stop showing it.

But there are cars that do it. Just because you never saw it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

A lot of vehicles have 'reserve' fuel, where the meter simply doesn't read the last ~3-5% percent of the fuel tank, so you think you'll be out sooner and choose to visit a gas station before you actually end up stranded.

I've also grown up in snowy mountainous regions and been taught anything under 1/3 of a tank is considered empty. Always keep reserve fuel so you have heat when/if you get stuck in the snow.

The Ford Fiesta (2017) I used to own, happily kept showing the exact expected range all the way down to zero

Buy a smaller car, dumbass. You'll go farther with the fuel you can get.
