Oh come on Keith, you've met me haven't you? But equally, you're the one bringing an expensive 3rd party electronic device into the question of deciding when you need to put petrol in the tank. So perhaps I'm being picky, but you're being complicated.

My point was, if you ride anywhere without it, the Garmin no longer knows how far you've been on that tank, so it will be wrong until you fill up again.
The trip counter on the dash always knows how far the bike has been (well, ish, but it's a pretty consistent error so it's irrelevant for this purpose).
Why complicate things? I agree, ignore the f-trip (or at least just treat it as a reminder to start thinking about how far you can go).
