I do not want to suffer the embarassment of running out of petrol.
But I do want to get a decent range from each tank.
Typically I run my car for 30-40 miles after the fuel warning light illuminates.
I fill the tank until the pump automatically stops.
The stated capacity of the fuel tank is 60 litres but when the pump cuts off it has only supplied around 52 litres.
So, does this mean the pump cuts off way too early?
Does it mean I can drive for another 80 miles (at 10 miles per litre)?
Is the tank full (contains 60 litres) only when filled right to the brim?
I know I can answer these questions by running the car dry and carrying a petrol can in the car but I would rather ask you guys instead.
Regards
Stuart.
