Default KM to empty close call

I was wondering how many km's I would get out of my first tank and so thought I could run it down as far as possible. I drive from Bathurst to Orange every day and left home with a bit under 1/4 of a tank. Just before Orange the fuel warning came on and I checked the km's to empty and it said 76. 56k to get home so I thought I should put some in before leaving for home just in case.

Last block before parking for the day and the km's was droping at an alarming rate of about 2km's per 50m so by the time I actually parked the car it was on 60 to empty. Got in the car to drive home and 1 block from work and it now reads 7km's to empty!!! I got to the servo and it was down to 3km's to empty. :

I put 73L in the tank so I guess it was telling the truth I know a trick I won't be trying again in a hurry!
