Yeah that's totally off. There's no way it's only 18 degrees outside.

No mention of the colour of the car, how can we give advice?

Oh crap, of course, how stupid of me should have remembered. BLUE! Those km’s do not seem correct at that l/100, or are my maths crap as usual? Or maybe a computer failure?

Amen to that.

At the figures given you will be 56km short of the estimated mileage. I never trust the estimated mileage completely anyway, if I'm out of town come 1/4 tank left I'm looking for the next service station.

So is that more like 12l/100? How did you work that out? Cheers.

They aren't supposed to match.
The l/100km number is the average since trip A was reset, the distance to empty is calculated over a much shorter distance (in most cars at least)

Ahhh Ok, so two seperate things. the car supposedly is averaging 8.4l/100 and a full tank should take it 770km to empty? Maths was never my strong area!

8.4 litres per 100km means you will use 7.7 times 8.4 to do your 770km which is 64.68 litres. That's 4.68 litres more than your tank holds and that missing 4.68 litres would have moved you 56km.

Reserve seems to be 5 litres in most cars I have owned.
Though the computers can be off because of high economy fuel use when hot on a open road. Or I sat there idling after starting the car up from cold, facing downhill a bit.
