Default 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

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.
