Low on Petrol

[Bash]

Couldn't be bothered to fill up last night as my petrol left to empty was saying 43miles got home maybe 28 left, drove to work 11 miles and on route reset the thing. It came back however with ----, the petrol station is 3 miles from where I work does this mean I'm not gonna make it?

 

[Aluco]

get walking

 

[VeinAST]

Youll make it to the petrol station. Mine gets tyo 39 miles then it just disappears.

 

[Bash]

woowho, i hope so otherwise Im gonna be pissed off, I'm not buying a gerry can!

 

[Struggler]

was there no petrol stations on the way home??
its a gamble, the computer probably plays it safe to some extent,
bt the alternative is running out and glogging your injectors

so.. are you feeling lucky??
or you cud jst take a drum up there,
bit of hassle but you brought it on urself lol

 

[Bash]

Couldnt be bothered I had been awake for over 30 hours and after an 11 hour photo shoot I just couldnt be arsed to stop. Then I got 2 hours sleep before going to work this moarning, again couldnt be bothered to stop as my eyes where stinging.

I'm not feeling lucky more Tired and Hungry, but I've gotta sort out the lottery before I go home....

...hard work is no fun...

i think mine also switches its warning light on at about 40miles (the OBC suspends some of the mileage readings until it's topped up again). the tank in mine takes around 9.5 gallons to top up once the light has come on; it's an 11 gallon tank - so you should be OK if you drive it carefully

 

[Bash]

Im off lets try!

 

[Craigius]

How did it go did you make it?

 

[Bash]

Perfectly fine, no problems at all. Am broke till friday due to having spent thousands on car parts so I had to fill up with 95 octane, now I feel dirty!

 

[MT AUDIO]

when mine has the dashes i can do 45 miles on it

 

[DrR]

Still have 10 ltrs of fuel when my red light comes on, that should be 70-80 miles easy.

 

[Bash]

Red light, does the orange petrol light go red?

 

[DrR]

it's never gona past just being on for me, orange/red same difference, how do you think i ended up with an inferno

 

[Bash]

gottya! I hate the way when u really acutly car how many miles u can do before u run out ur computer doesnt just say no it says "----"!

 

[nicknick]

Couldn't be bothered to fill up last night...

there's your fail right there.

 

[Bash]

I was far too tired. Had spent a hard day taking pictures of beautiful people!

ha haaa! come back to the dark side bash. 95 octane eh???
times must be hard to risk you engine!

 

[Bash]

lol yeah!

 

[cat171]

Got mine down to 35 miles left yesterday, no lights came on, the needle was in the red. There was literally no where to fill up as until I got to a service garage (I was on a motorway) - then I got raped for £57.15 !! On some high end BP shizz.

 

[MrMark]

Do any of you guys always fill up to the top? I always tend to just put a set amount in. I.e, £20 or £30 quid usually.

 

[DrR]

Always fill to top, don't fill up till light comes on, hate the hole filling up with petrol process.

 

[Henry]

don't usually but i've just been on a 1000+ml excursion in it and had to brim it three times (£150:dead: )

being a geek, i checked the accuracy of the OBC mpg readout whilst i was at it and think it's within 3-5% on mine

I always do. Unless I have to get somewhere quickly then i'll just put a score or so in.

 

[MrMark]

Anyone think that you are using more fuel by having more fuel? if that makes sense?

Probably wont make much difference, but in my 1.2 there is a deffinate difference in performance from a full tank to say, 1/2 a tank.

Weight!

 

[Seedy172]

Mines been on dirty 95Ron for absolutely ages now... and it aint liking it one bit, at least prices are now dropping slightly Now mines of the road too

 

[Bash]

fill up half Tesco's 99 and half 95 so u should then u'll have 97 octaine petrol.

 

[Tigger]

^ Is that right? :S

 

[Bash]

maybe I dunno, i was just joking. if u wanna try it and let me know. Sort of makes sense...

 

[kenny172]

i only stick £10-£20 in at a time for a very good reason.

If i fill the car to the top il go and burn it simply because its there, Where as if it only has quarter a tank i really wont cane it as much

 

[SC03OTT]

i fill up every friday no matter how much i have left in the tank. find it easier to monitor how much im using that way

 

[clairemae]

i fill up half a tank and make it last for the week, unless i'm going somewere far i rarely fill it to the top.

 

[D1CKY]

Youll make it to the petrol station. Mine gets tyo 39 miles then it just disappears.

Same here

 

[wallop]

I suffer performance wise with a full tank, but I also suffer performance wise due to weather conditions....

In hot weather I can touch XXXmph on my local private road, In the early hours, (around 5am), I can get almost 10mph quicker over the same length of road....

Remove fuel and stereo and I can't say how quick it is, (goes off the clock over the same stretch)....

Weight = bad news for economy & performance.....
