i filled today at 1136km, although the light had just come on. i'm bored as hell though going to have a free run this tank and maybe swap back to my 14's for the next tank and shoot for 1300ish km.
cheers

I average between 45-55mpg depending on the weather air con etc. I've had 430 miles out of a tank.

I'm always sceptical about the miles left in the tank reading on the trip computer and have only ever drivien 20 miles on the reserve.

How many miles does the reserve have? ( I never run out of diesel and have no intension of doing so )

you lot aint even trying

on the drive to elsecar and back 202 miles on £36 of optimax

Mines about the same.... and mine isnt a turbo'd one

Other day i averaged 24MPG go me.... lol

when the light comes on there are approximately 7 liters of fuel left in the tank. For my mileage this translates into 150km's, but I have done maximum 80 km's to be on the safe side

I filled my 1.9 TDI up with £37 worth of Shell Extra (the reserve light wasnt on and range showed 30 miles. Its done approx 60 miles on the motorway at constant 70-80mph and 15 miles in town.

The fuel needle hasn't moved from full. Should I be worried???

I can go at least 280 miles without the needle moving seems like you have filled the expansion tank also. No need to worry, the needle will move when the fuel in the expansion tank is consumed.
