Possitive mate!

Ive filled it from the light being on to max twice this month and £36.70 or summit is the max i can get! Even then i can see the fuel when i take the fuel cap off its so high!

 

[Daz]

Well, I filled mine up from, well, being stopped.. and not being able to start engine.. and it was 50l give or take a bit.. amazing.

Like, two cans (5l) and then (30l) at Petrol Station.. hehe.

 

[_Tom]

Is it supposed to be 50ls???? Mine wont get that in it!

 

[Daz]

Yea it is.. Haynes too!

Remember tho, when your light is on.. 16v pumps 5l into the main tank.. or something. Williams just uses both tanks at once so might be the difference? When ya light is on, you should be able to hear the 2nd fuel pump prime on a 16v.

But yea, its 50l.

 

[jon_r]

If petrol is really expensive somwhere, like on an motorway, why do people fill the tank and not just put a tenner in or something?

Normally do just that, put £10 then fill up when I get home - but this time I still had another 200 miles to go to get home, all m/way, and its times like that I think "ah, sod it!"

Yea, but to get 50l, you have to run it totally empty.. its only 50l and there will always be some in it when you fill up.

 

[Pete]

£41 which worked out at 47ltrs, almost running on fumes me thinks.

I fill the whole car up no matter where I fill it up, motorway etc, its a pain in the arse having to stop twice otherwise!

 

[PoPe SmOkE]

70 quid in a XJR

 

[172mgw]

think the most i ever put into any vehicle, was £65 in me audi, but cos of the uprated fuel pump, it drank that in no time at all, was a wee bit expenssive to say the least

 

[kingJimBob]

£25

 

[Jim172CUP]

36 quid i think for 46litres

 

[Mike Wright]

300 in a truck

 

[Clarel]

£39.50 last night, BP Ultimate.

Thats alot isnt it? The "miles to go before fillup" thingy said ---.--, so I assume I was running on fumes!

Daves Porsche 944 Turbo takes over £50 to fill up and will only do about 300-350 miles per tank. I am using it today and will be trying to squeeze the last drop out of it.

 

[03dynamique]

my local petrol station is currently 86.9 so if i filled my tank up that would be thats £43.45!!!

 

[S2 PTH]

About £42 in the 1.4 16v.

Managed £54 (of optimax) in my 1.4 8v 306.

Was watching a guy fill his V12 Jag up the other day... £109





(Its the one with two petrol tanks!)

[Mike@Rentech]

Haha moaning about petrol prices in 2004

 

[devilsadvocate]

haha nice find

Guessing petrol was sub 80p per litre in 2004, bet they never thought it would hit £1.50 over the next 8 years!
