So the fuel tank seems to be 52L (11 UK Gallons).
On the last 3 occasions, I've run the car until the fuel gauge says 0 (when on the level) and have only managed to squeeze 32L (7 UK Gallons).
I know the factory set the fuel warning 'with contingency', but this seems like 65% of capacity, leaving, in theory, 20L (4 UK Gallons) still in the tank.
Now I know that the fuel tank is triangular, so measuring by depth of fuel is tricky. I'm also not wanting to run the tank dry. But... If I'm 50 miles from home and switch to 'eco driving' (30 MPG), theory is I can get another 100 miles at least before sucking crap up from the bottom of the tank.
I also know that cornering and accelerating / braking sends the guage and warning lights crazy.
Just curious really how far into negative figures people have been 'in an emergency'. Theory says the guage could go to -20 before the engine starts to cough.
