You call that low? That's normal for me!

Lol thats not low at all, the needles not even on the bump stop
Its only low when you start sucking air and loosing power / forced to drive level roads!

Only twice?
I had to get the bloke who made my exhaust come up the road with a can of petrol for me. Ran out 100 yards out of his garage! Lol

Im sure they didnt actually connect them up in the 1.8s. Mine is always low haha
Re: I like to live life on the edge.... - Niall - 29-02-2012
I'm used to shitty gauges though. My old 106s fuel gauge used to move upto 3/4 of a tank when cornering. Go left all the time and you had a full tank
until I ran out once 
In the end didn't have a gauge that worked. Just guessed it on miles.

thats what we get for driving french cars eh haha

I been driving for 3 years almost and ran out once in mondeo cos gauge didn't work. I had it chugging for 10 miles and made it home. But next time it chugged twice and ran out just before petrol station. I've had so many close calls but always make it. It's exciting pushing it

No. If you pay a oil giant the grand sum of about 80 quid, you can have a full tank....very briefly.
Re: I like to live life on the edge.... - samass - 29-02-2012
haha its almost like playing the lottery!
i like pushing it to the next services if im on a motorway trip! and even then, ill do a quick google to see if theres one off the motorway that won't cost me my spleen!

You know they just guess at your fuel anyway. I have managed to get 55 litres in when on a quarter of a tank before.
