Got better things to do than sit at a pump and slowly get the fuel to flow to the very top.silverGPX wrote:Pft first click when i do a full fill i go till i see the fuel at the top lip of the fuel cap thread hahaha

Re: fuel consumption
my fuel meter must be reading wrong, i'm sitting on empty at the moment and have travelled about 510km, and when I fill up im only putting in 40-43L
does this mean i have another 200 or so KM of driving left on empty? :\

Re: fuel consumption
Best way to test it is to get a fuel can fill it up and put it in your boot, then drive the car until the fuel light comes on. The fuel can is a safety for if the light is not working and you run out

If your gauge is faulty then I highly doubt the warning light is accurate.aza013 wrote:Best way to test it is to get a fuel can fill it up and put it in your boot, then drive the car until the fuel light comes on. The fuel can is a safety for if the light is not working and you run out.

Re: fuel consumption
Fuel lights a tricky one tech, it will go through two stages, flashing and solid. Yours is on flashing, generally when it comes on you can brake fairly hard and it will immediately go off. When you can no longer do that and its solid you really nwed to refuel, however I've done an extra 30 odd kms at that point and still haven't run out yet.

fuel consumption
It's coz the fuels splashing around in the tank and when you brake hard all it does is cover the sensor and the light goes off lol
I don't think it has stages as such
