How much fuel to fill up the vxr8 from empty

[stigmundfreud]

After running out this morning I can tell you it is 72.85ltr. I can also tell you its heavy to push uphill and further when it says very low fuel it isnt lieing

[TerryS]

Ouch, feel for you. Can the low fuel warning not be reconfigured to come on earlier?

I think he ignored it.

Stig,
How far did you get from low fuel warning, and how far from very low fuel?

well Low fuel a few days ago, very low on the way home from work then went out last night. Fortunately the petrol station is 1/4 mile from home and I ran out just 200 yards away

I'm calling BS on this one. Stig only ever pushes his luck

hush woman, havent you got womanly tasks to be performing around the homestead rather than interupting the men talking about cars n stuff?

Hmm, thats interesting. How many miles did you get from "Low Fuel" to dead?
Ive never seen "Very Low Fuel" warning. I think I get about 65L in at the "Low Fuel" level.

I've done close to 80 miles when on low fuel (motorway) but I would say Verry low kicks in at under a gallon left. I'd say 10 miles at town type driving

sue vauxhall for false advertising mate. it's meant to be 73 ltr's

Glad someone has finally found out, Ive driven round on low fuel for a bit and get scared thinking very low fuel wasn't working!!!

When I hit last bit of tank I take great pleasure in using up the last part as best as possible eg when it say range 20mls give it sum,, don't know why Ive always done it in all cars and bikes.......

[Magic919]

I think very low fuel warning is well over a gallon in mine.

I'm surprised you could push that car uphill at all let alone any useful distance, it's almost impossible getting it any distance on the flat! You must have had your shredded wheat that day.

[ringram]

I think Stig means if you look at the car from down the hill its "up hill",

on the flat was easy but work leather soul shoes made getting over the roundabout somewhat interesting, still some nice couple helped out and got it there. I've been fooked all day but my groin strain I suffered at the weekend moving stuff in the home was cured

Personally I'd have walked to the petrol station, bought and filled a can up and took it back to the car, but then again I'm lazy

I wonder how many petrol cans are sold for this purpose?
