Today (well late on yesterday actually) I....suffered a bit of range anxiety. I was hoping to get back home with what was left in the tank, but the Range estimate on the DIS seems to go down rather quickly once you get to a 1/4 of a tank left. Not knowing how accurate the predicted 30 miles was, I was getting a bit nervous on the last few hills near home. Fortunately I got to a 24 hour petrol (& diesel) station before I ran out and it took just over 37 litres, which suggests there were a few litres left in the tank.
Have to say I'm happy to have got to Edinburgh and back (578 miles) on a tank of diesel, averaging 70.5mpg up the M1/A1 (although the DIS thought I'd done 72.5mpg!) On the way up the traffic was heavy and I was keeping up with the flow, on the way back I was going at the speed limit, before dropping to 65 for the last 1/2 hour. I still find it amazing for a 20+ year old design with over 150k miles on the clock.
