lower it gets... the longer it last

[Damo_Sport]

Anyone else find this on there petrol gauge? lol

lower the needle gets to empty the less amount it takes per miles

Cause atm im a tramp and got no cash.. and im only putting in £10 at a time atm and its lasting bloody ages

but if ya fill it. then its on half a tank before ya know it!!!

Apparently its due to the shape of the tank.... wider at the bottom or something.

because your driving style changes, due to the fear of possibly running empty, so you dont take it all the way so to speak. Should know better than driving on low fuel.

lol... the car runs on the amount of petrol, the shape of the tank is completely irrelevant.

Feels like that for me, but I tend to only fill up when I'm doing long journeys, so it goes right back down in a day as opposed to putting in a tenner and it slowly going down during the week.

^^^^^ +1 Thats the reason why. It can't be be anything else except the car car is lighter with a small amount of fuel onboard but very,very marginal.

not quite, as im sure the fuel filter prevents this, maybe its because a petrol light or low needle means the car needs tanking up.

shut it lol

 

[katg]

i always find I can do miles and miles withotu the needle even moving from the top of the gauge, then it shots through to the 1/4 mark, then sits there for several hundred miles, then i occasionally hit the red and get the fuel light coming on... actually since owning her it's the second time i've actually got to see the light

 

[JonniP]

fair enough the filter is there to stop gunk from getting in the engine, but wouldn't you want to minimize the gunk blocking up the filter?

 

[V1NNY]

less weight maybe

 

[mr.valver]

I think once it gets to a 1/3 on the tank then it's game over lol

 

[16v_paddy]

Clio fuel gauges are just c**k teasing c-units

I can get just over 300 miles to a full tank, but I'll do about 120 miles & the gauge says I've only used 1/4 of a tank
