Background:
If I travel from Germany to the UK, via the tunnel, in my pervious car I would fill up at home and then again at Ashford, that was/is my benchmark.
So using my benchmark, when I drove to the UK last week I found that the range displayed was getting so low that I filled up in France, putting in 33 ltrs which I think I am correct in saying that the fuel tank on the 1.8 Hybrid holds 43 ltrs of fuel
so a long way short.
Well on my return I decided to take it a step further, so filled up at Ashford (as always) and set off, determined to make the trip in one go, so I get in to Germany and everything is good, 60kms from home and the fuel warning light comes on. In my own backyard so I know there are loads of petrol stations along the route, so just keep going
I am now 20kms from home and the range left is 5kms, fuel light has been on a while, so I think okay, time to fill up before taking any chances.
Fill up and a grand total of 35 ltrs fit in the tank :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
It would suggest that I could have gone at least another 100kms...that is only if I'm correct that the tank holds 43 ltrs :lol:
