It the estimated distance until you run out of fuel. 65 miles in your photo.

It's worth reading the user manual.

As I say it's an estimate as it's based on your average mpg over the preceding few miles. Some people have managed to get it to read "0" so it's possibly conservative to be on the safe side.
