Additionally, I like to have an idea of how "accurate" those calculations are as well - with my N55 135, you could go a solid 10 miles when it read "0" as long as you were babying it.
You never know when you might be in a situation where you are forced to push that limit a little - it is good to know that there is less left when it hits "0" than my 135.
