How many miles on red fuel light ?

Lo Peops
Just wondering what the most miles someone has done in their Lude once the red low fuel light has started coming on ?
Just curious as it must have a fair few litres in reserve.
Cheers all.

With the red light on, I have done 12 miles.

I've always wondered this, especially in the 5th. I quite often don't notice that I'm almost on empty these days.

Never had that problem in the 4th gen

Lo
The most I have had to fill up is about 48 litres so must have about 12 litres left so just over a couple of gallons ?
Cheers

I've done 28 miles in the 4th after the light has started to fade on.

Usually about 40 miles on the fuel light. The final few I'm literally touching cloth. Keeps it interesting.

Was going to say I can get home from work (circa 35 miles) on the fuel light. 5g bb8

This was probably the best I ever got (well, that I have photographic evidence of

)

This was during the height of the "fuel crisis" of June 2008, where garages were running out, and I eventually had to fill up at a garage I found with fuel, at an EXTORTIONATE price of 119.9p/l for 95 octane!! (Other garages, most of which had run out, were at 114.9p/l for 95). This is when fuel had gone up in the space of about 3 weeks from under £1/l, so everyone was up in arms.

And an hour and a half later...
