My first attempt, pictures show empty, full tank and then my first bar drop!!

No one work my average speed out!

25.3 miles in 33 minutes is OK

Presuming you haven't got the time machine option, 222.9 miles in nearly 24hours is rather slow

Ah that's alright then

I've used the first 2 squares already in 30 mile.......

But I think my fuel gauge is a bit crap, first square goes in about 6 miles, around 30 miles the 2nd square goes.

Generally its around 230 miles when its at the last orange square, but if you fill it up at 230 miles, it still has a quarter of a tank left (30 liters to refill it again).

Last week while looking for info about my dead dashboard I came about this in the service manual:

I believe it's relevant info.

I read somewhere that when you fill your car to the click it sucks fuel back out into the pump to prevent overfilling? However it will count the fuel going in and not deduct it when its sucked back out. It must be minimal but was never sure if its true

Maybe you were reading the Sunday Sport or something

The shut off valve within the handle, senses a change in air pressure at the nozzle as fuel covers a small secondary tube within the nozzle. Theres still pressure from the pump to the handle but the flow is blocked automatically.

Well, my inner geek got to me, and by using the data above........

How is it possible that I do 100km's on bar 1?
