Fuel light lottery

Featured Replies

How low do you let your "miles left" in a tank go? I go down to ten KM then run it for a day before filling up......what about anybody else and how long have you left it before you panic and fill up? :)

K:)

I got to 0 miles LOL! Then it went upto 5 and i just made it to the petrol station :rofl:

this is a duplicate thread

do the jeremy clarkson method, run till you get the light on, then when you get the sign telling you how many miles to the next petrol station, pick the furthest one and go straight past it,

if you win, the missus gets in the car the next morning and has to fill it up, if you loose, you run out of fuel

Max I've ever gone is 20 miles after zero.

On the Octy I've let the Mk2 go 50 miles after the light comes on, the mk1 went 60miles. Although I did run out in the mk1 one day :o

It all depends how its driven once the light goes on.

its about a gallon of fuel left when you reach 0. i know i can get up to 50 miles once i reach 0 in my octy 2

My record is about a third of a mile after the engine stopped. I coasted down the hill, turned (right, on a main road) into the petrol station, and filled up. :cool:

That wasn't a Skoda, but it was a VW.

I did simething like that in a fiesta I used to have. It ran out just as I pulled into the petrol station and coasted to the pump.

I got from Preston to Carlisle with the orange light on in my 07 plate VW Transporter...

It was struggling for the last few miles, but made it none the less. :D

I managed this in my old Vectra. Got down to 0 and got to the crest of the hill that the fuel stationw as on the other side of just as the engine cut out. Managed to get into the station with just enough speed to spare! Couldn't have timed it better!

well chris told me it goes to 0 miles, and you can still go a good 5-10. However, mine was showing 10miles left, the lowest i`v had it, and it ran out!

Most ive had once on 0 was 20 miles (i then ran out on way to petrol station!!!!) 15miles is the most ill risk at maximum, i still remember in my ol vectra doing over 70 miles with the needle in the red and still having 5 litres left!!!
