As an American, I typically disregard the DTE indicator on my Nissan Altima because I'm not very sharp when it comes to car matters. The DTE stands for "distance to empty" and shows how much farther you can drive before running out of fuel, potentially leaving you stranded. It calculates this based on your average fuel consumption and the amount of fuel remaining in your tank. Keep in mind that this estimate may change depending on driving conditions. For example, if your average fuel economy was measured in city driving but you're about to hit the highway, you might be able to go a bit further. Conversely, the opposite could be true as well. If you're interested, I could share some related anecdotes, but if you're short on time, I'll just end it here!
