Cheddar Bob Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 So picked the car up from CPS today... 20minute or so journey home and look at where the fuel gauge was when I called into Morrisons for fuel £20 (16.6 litres) later So the question is for red light roulette folk.... How low have you gone? Ever run out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bally4563 Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Good for another 30 miles, failing that one of the reasons they put a glass heated window in a facelift ,,, to keep your hands warm when you are pushing!

RBD914 v2 Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 I once got caught out in the middle of nowhere and got the fuel range down to -23 on a BMW 330i. The dealer didn't even know that the digital range gauge went into negative figures! I did make it to the petrol station, albeit on fumes, coasting down hills, slipstreaming lorries, all the usual economising tricks...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXY Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 I have driven a Nissan leaf for several miles with a big fat zero flashing in the binnacle, I do wonder how far from turtle/tortoise mode it was. @Cheddar Bob there is an easy hack/mod to utilise the OBC which IIRC is fitted to all 986's.

Fish19700 Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 999cc Maruti jeep driving between Nairobi and Kampala with empty light on for a good 30 clicks on pretty awful murram road. Never happier than when Kisumu appeared; fuel, overnight stop and few refreshing Tuskers! It really sometimes isn't about the destination....

Boxstercol Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 More to the point, who puts £20 in... Oh, that thing on the rev counter is pure shyatee! Have you got an ‘On a Mission’ sticker on the rear screen as well?? 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the baron Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 I’ve driven so the needle is past the line, I reckon you still have around 35 miles left before your on fumes. I retro fitted the OBC and now have range added which is useful, not sure how accurate it is though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
