I'll be sure to fill up my C200 tonight.

Interesting instrument layout. My speedo/rev meters are different then yours. Perhaps a facelift update?
that's a nice looking cluster

I was planning to drive to a petrol station on the way home from work but suddenly it did hit 0. So I was a bit concerned and headed for a closer station. It was on 0 for a few minutes and then shot up to 40km left and then back down to 20ish.

The computer jumps all over the place when you get close to 0. When you're on the throttle it'll say 0, and then when you ease off it'll say something crazy like 40. But yeah, when the computer starts doing that, I head to the nearest station. You will still have maybe 20km left.
