It also uses your current driving habits (ie - if you're always on the highway but are getting low and in city traffic, it will not say you have 50 miles left with your 2 gallons, it will tell you that you have around 24-30..). It's pretty darn good on my '03 TBlazer, and the algorithm probably gets better every year.
