Hey guys, Just wondering if it's possible to check digitally how many KMs are left in the fuel tank ?

yes, get an external reader such as ultra-gauge. Check the Distance to empty (DTE) reading.

Pointless. These vary so much depending on conditions, it might very well be the least useful readout of any on a car.

I would have loved it, if it was possible. But as there are many factors involved, I guess we all need to be satisfied with what we get.

Our tanks hold 13 gallons. Assume 12 gallons, so 3 gallons every 25% on your fuel gauge.
Multiply by your avg MPG. Doesnt take too long and its as about as accurate as a digital readout :p |
