In his defense, some cars have absolutely huge reserves below the 0 mile mark on the trip computer. My Mazda 3 has something like 2 gallons left in the tank when you hit 0 miles on the trip computer. I have gone around 30 miles past 0 in that car. Of course, I'd have run to 0 and fill up to calculate how much gas was left first.
