        My '97 does the same thing, and the trip computer claims it
has 60 miles worth of gas left. Stranger still is that the 60 miles is
about thirty, and I have drove over twenty with it claiming 0 left,
and still only put 19 gallons in. Nothing about the computer is what I
would call accurate....
