I normally fill up before the fuel warning light and the !!!RANGE!!! alert.

The figures below are from my last visit to the petrol station. I refueled before getting the warning.

Model: Astra SRi coupe (MY07.5)
Engine: 2.2 Direct
Transmission: Automatic
Driving style: To road conditions (speed limit, AC normally off)
Driving type: City (40 km approx round trip)
Fuel type: 98 (Shell V-Power)
Distance since refill: 422 km
Litres to fill to first click: 44.63 L
Consumption figures((Lx100)/km): 10.58 L/100 km

I have been recording fuel consumption for a while now and my best figures for the SRi are from April 2011:

Fuel type: 98 (Shell V-Power)
Distance since refill: 472.7 km
Litres to fill to first click: 45.77 L
Consumption figures((Lx100)/km): 9.68 L/100 km

The computer has my average consumption at 9.6 L/100 km. I would have to do an average of collected consumption data to determine whether the computer is accurate if not. Too much to add up.
