I think we should all reset trip computers and see who gets the best readings.

Turn it into a CS challenge.
Best results over 3 miles from stand still or something.

I always run out of pretrol

When the red light coms on I can get anything from 25-35 miles so when it comes on I just reset the odermeter and ignore the range as its pretty useless and reads 0.0 as soon as the light comes on.

I just have my petrol light, I know I've got at least 20 miles once it comes on constant, I had 26 out of it once, it got to 20 and I was literally at the side of a petrol station but I didn't want to go to that petrol station so I drove 6 miles to the next one

Worst one I've done I pulled into the petrol station just as I went on to 20 miles then why I was sat waiting I heard the pump start sucking in air

I generally try not to fill up without having the petrol light on for 20 miles tho, feel like I'm being robbed if I have to top up early

I only trust my Corsa tho, in the Sprinter I see the petrol light come on and I'm straight to the nearest petrol station, not sure why I trust the Corsa so much but don't trust anything else.

I remember putting £10 in a Suzuki Ignis a couple of years ago then as I pulled off the petrol station the light come back on, then I had to drive about 30 miles round trip. Never drove a courtesy car so carefully in my life

I got about 3-4 trips to work and back on 0 range, I literally ran out of petrol and rolled down the hill into the petrol station (The shell on Aigburth road for the Scouse ones, Ian will know it ) couldnt believe my luck that it died at the top of the hill
