Fuel Economy

anyone got a pic with their fuel light on? i can't even work out where it's meant to light up and don't know if it's working. i let my tank go to the empty line and filled up only 33 litres so i guess it probably wouldn't be on at that stage. gotta get used to this new fuel gauge!

you'll have ages before the light comes on - to see how close you are, if you take a left hand corner sharply (e.g coming out of a sidestreet onto a main rd at like 20kmh, etc) the fuel will move in the tank and have a split second starvation, in which the car will bog down.

You'll have about 12L left when it surges.
Light comes on at 10L, stays steadly on at about 8L
