But if the car had been run to the bottom of the tank then you may have only filled a small amount and not enough for the fuel light to turn off.

I wouldn't worry about it, it's not your car and £7.50 will easily cover the 25 or so miles you need to do.

I had a Megane 1.5 DCi 106 while I was waiting for the Cup. When I took it back I commented to the sales girl, who's car it was, that I was surprised it only averaged 45mpg. She said it's normally a lot higher than that.

I'm seeing an average of 28mpg out of the Cup now.

 

[paul]

28 is what i get out of my cup most of the time!

i'm sure the mk3s have a bigger tank and possibly a bigger reserve, i think the reserve in my 1.2 is about a gallon and a half. leaving me about 65-70 miles in reserve.

does the 2.0 have a larger reserve?
