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.

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

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...
