Petrol Light
 
How much is left in the tank when the petrol light goes on in;

1) miles, assuming mostly town and non agressive driving
2) Litres, just so i know

Have a jerry can full of super unleaded in the boot just in case !

Mine has come on recently, and then gone off, then come on again, then gone off, all over a couple of days.

A bit worrying as my debit card was playing up too, and I was waiting for a new one.

When I finally filled it, and right to the top, it took 52.4 litres:eek:

That leaves 2.6, by my reckoning.

I'd not trust ANY fuel gauge, or fuel light as owt but an indicator. I reckon to fill mine when it's done 220 miles or so, not much more except on a run.

Hi,

When i was on the motorway a couple of weeks ago it came on at 320 miles (classic), stopped to fill up at 345 and squeezed 56 litres in before it overflowed. So thats about right eh, 2 gals or 9 litres.
