Gonna be honest and say I never look at litres .. all I know is if I drive boringly I get 32mpg .. but if I have fun on a clear road or in gaps of traffic and I put my right foot down I can go down to 27mpg .. Tesco momentum I put in my Brab and I never her run down below 2 blocks on fuel gauge so have no idea on true Cost / litres

The most I've managed to put in is 42L, and that's with driving it all the way down to 0.0L.
I think the car is sneaky and trying to hide gas from me, and good on it as i can't always be bothered to fill up whenever it dips into the reserve.

47L? Brave soul - you must have really let the tank dry out!
Max I've managed to put in is about 43L but then again I always fill up as soon as the fuel gauge gets to the last bar.
I'm getting about 38mpg from her at the moment so I'm a happy chappy

I must admit to being nervous on way to petrol station, but never thought it was that low. Think yours will take some beating Eddie

I only ever put enough in to get to an Autosolo and do the event and get me to the nearest Shell or Gulf station thereafter. No point in dragging excess fuel round the track

I've only managed 37 so far! Being new to me I have no idea how far it'll go once its down to its last bar (I'm not overly keen on 'bars' of petrol).
I did manage to run my old Saab dry with a 65 litre tank! Completely conked out, at 4am, lesson learnt

Each bar is ~5L and you have another 5L in reserve which show up after the last bar goes out, which goes down in increments of 0.5L.
It's best not to run it empty as it really strains the pump.

that's what I do but your clearly not brave enough... iv had 0.0l, --- range and filled with 48.2 litres
iv even resorted to switching the a/c off when I set off from my dads work after dropping him off when its reading 1.5-2.5l (to eek as much as I can) and got to work and back to the shell garage I regularly use... even though I pass 2 shell garages, 1 on the way in to wakefield and the other on the way out. (I use different routes due to traffic on the way in and out)

On the run up to payday I couldn't afford to fill the tank so I finally pushed it beyond that last far. Got down to 2.5L and then managed to get 45L in.

Last Sunday i drove a few km's on 0.0L and it took 41.5L to fill and for the pump to click off. There probably was a bit more room but to get more in it, i'd have to trickle the petrol in and the pump would trip multiple times.

my last fill managed 49.25 litres. I was pushing it as I set off from Leeds with the reading 1.0l and got to Wakefield (20 miles) and had 0.0. it ticked over to 0.0 about 12 mile from Wakefield, on the smart motorway part of the M1
