Mines the same, have about 10l left when it says empty.. and it doesnt usually say its full, usually goes to about 3/4 full... and runs down the half way very sharpish. the rest of the time is spent below halfway!
Most ive ever gotten into it was €35
have a look here. i keep records!

As a matter of interest, how much roughly would be in the tank when needle is in reserve? Have often sweated before finally finding a pump in the past!

I found that when the needle is fully in the red, there is at least ten litres left in the tank. I removed the sender from the tank and bent it a bit so when the needle has gone through the red and stopped moving there is about two litres left in the tank. Mine does 300 miles on a full tank before it runs out

youve got it set to US measurements... top left corner changes to UK.
Not that 22MPG is that much better...
