The reason they do this is because on the early 9-3 sports sedans, people would keep driving there car and when they ran out of gas they would complain to SAAB because the information display showed they had 3 miles left to empty. If your computer say you only have 3 miles left that is only about 1-10th of a gallon. when that car goes around a corner or parks on a hill all of that fuel is going to go to on side of the tank and the fuel pump is goin to suck air.
We used to get this all the time. Also on the sport sedans when they ran empty they would sometimes damage the fuel pump.
So when it says "Refill Fuel Now" the answer is you need to find a gas station and stop wondering how may miles are left to empty.
