Had mine so low I couldn't rev over 2500rpm or it would splutter and hesitate....lucky the petrol station was only 3km down the road.

In saying that the fto is the only car I havent completely run of petrol in. I even did it in the company car about 2 months ago and had to walk 30mins along the fkn motorway.

just a thought, when a car gets foen to a litre there should b a fuel saving mode where car cant go over **** revs sorta like safe mode when u ahve an elec problem like alternator and your car wont go over 6,0000( also happens if u try and redline before temp needle get to max) by max i mean a smidge under halfway between hot and cold

Vpower for me ever since...lowest I've had was 500 kms with slightly less than a quart tank to go. Usually half a tank takes me 300kms. Never ever tried testing how far the car will go till the damn light comes on because the last time I did it it was close to E with no damn bloody empty fuel light coming on. done wanna take my chances getting stuck in the middle of nowhere and trying to find a damn petrol station.

What's the max capacity of the tank? I've had to fill up 54 liters once but it was showing E. Wondering how much more I could have gone.

They have a 60L tank but you could get about 62L in it due to the filler pipes.
