Went on a country walk yesterday not far from Goodwood about 27 miles from home. Initially the gauge was showing a quarter of a tank, which I was comfortable with. However we came across a serious accident which resulted in a lengthy diversion.
For the return home and dropping off a friend I was due to cover 30miles. At the onset of the journey the Low Fuel Warning message flashed up and shortly afterwards I was down to the 2 bar indication level on the gauge. The range indicator did not show a figure. I believe it fails to register below 33 miles.
Drove home (Economy Mode) and still showed 2 bars on the gauge. Filled up this morning with 30 litres.
Tank capacity, including 5 litre reserve, is quoted in the manual as 35 litres so all in all I still had the reserve to go at.
Letting the tank reach this low level is not my normal practice as usually fill up when down to a quarter of a tank.
But looking at what took place the end result gave me some comfort as what the mileage capabilities would be if I was ever in that position again.:shrug:
