40 Litres (I think but it just might be 45 :roll: but my money is on 40)

How much fuel did you have to put in to brim it again cos thats the info you need to work out the MPG - I've only had the fuel light on once and that was driving mine home the day I bought it - for some strange reason I always like to see if I can get a new car home on the fuel in the tank - invariably I do - perverse really :roll:

I think when I filled up I only got 36L in it so it either has a gallon or two in reserve :lol:

I cant remember how much i had to put in, i think it is about 40 litres

I'll be able to post again on friday or saturday and i'll do another test.

The car has a Universal air filter and a Rage backbox on it, apart from that the engine is standard. TBH it has had a bit of a hard time this week due to me running late for work and having to drive that little bit harder than usual.
