Anyone's guess with a North American Gen2. The rubber bladder in the gas tank makes the gas gauge a "guess gauge". For around town driving, I start thinking about gas at 2 bars and make it a priority at 1. On road trips I start planning my next fuel stop at about 4 or 5 bars, mainly because I'm driving through rural areas and don't want to pay $0.50 more a gallon when I could fill up 50 miles before or after a pricey town. Driving it to the last drop is only worth doing if you're trying for a record tank.
