Re: How many miles can I get on reserve?

How many miles can I get on reserve?

Hello all. So, because of all the inconsiderate w*nkers losing their heads and deciding to drink up all the fuel, my little Polo’s reserve light came on today. My journey to work is a 25 mile round trip. Will I be able to get there and back tomorrow? Thanks in advance.
