.........so how many miles has anyone got when the refuel light comes on....? :undecided:
-
probably only about 30miles but it seems like so much more when you are on the motorway, its dark and raining and the baby is in the car but you are holding out for v-power!
-
about 10 miles as i bottle it when light come on :tongue:
-
When i had the R32 clocks fitted i took it to the red light(45 miles till empty showing) and kept driving,it went down to 0 miles till empty and i did another 5 miles before i gave in and refuel'd.
My current clocks don't show mile till empty.
-
41 miles driving like a granny lol still didn't get to the garage though had to walk the rest
-
always thought it was pretty low but 41 milles.......... that pretty good...........town or motorway driving ??????
............hmmmm i have a good idea to throw a wee can of motion lotion in the boot and see how far i get............. :laugh:
-
Mine was motorway btw. It was easier in the Seat with miles till empty but that was not totally reliable!
-
happened to me last week :laugh: mte showed 35miles and carried on and read 0 mte managed about 2 miles before i bottled it and got to the garage only to find no v-power :angry: so went another 3 miles to tesco for some 99 super :laugh:

I did about 30 miles yesterday on the red. An sounds like you have a plan, my mum, being the scatty random she is, everytime she gets a new car she drives around with a can of petrol in the boot until it conks out! Then she knows what range she has on the red!
-
Why would you want to run the fuel low?? Not only do you end up dragging sh!te from the bottom of the tank up you also run the risk of catalyst damage.
-
Done about 40 miles before.
As for the sh!te in the bottom of the tank, thats what the filter is for and proper servicing!
-
when i went to test drive my golf it was on the fuel warning light.
to makes things worse the guy was a good 5 miles form the nearest filling station lol! glad i made it lol
-
Ive been found without petrol on the side of the road too many times, i don't risk it anymore.

So reading through what every one has said here to play it safe, when the light come on you have 40 miles before you stop.

Well, you actually have 7 litres of fuel remaining at the light (or approx. 1.5 gallons), so I would expect to get anywhere between 30-55 miles depending on the type of route/traffic/driving style etc. :)
