My Panda 4x4 Multijet is supposed to have a 37 litre tank (which is about 8 gallons), so far as I know. Given that I am averaging 55 miles per gallon, I should be able to go well over 400 miles on a tank.
Not just once, but several times now, when the gauge still shows a quarter full, the 'range' display goes to '---', and the 'Warning - low fuel' message appears on the screen, about 330-350 miles after a fill up. Very soon after, the yellow 'low fuel' light comes on and the gauge drops to the last bar (the divided one). Even after driving 20-30 miles more, when I fill up I can only just squeeze around 31 litres in, which suggests that either the gauge and warnings are wrong, or that the tank is much smaller than I think...
How's this compare with others' experiences?
