Sorry to hear about the few of you guys who actually ran out of gas. I guess Mini doesn't tolerate the Cosmo Kramer's in the crowd.

Funny though, as my daily driver is a Bimmer, several times the DTE reading was "---" and yet I still had enough for a few miles yet. Also, my wife will sometimes let the tank go dry in her Saab with a "0" DTE reading, then asks me to fill it up.

Damn, those windows never had it so good!
