How many miles do you get to a tank in a Polo GTi?

On an average run around 270-290 before the light comes on

driving around town i get about 240-250 before the light comes on. doing mainly motorway i get around 280. Anyone know how many miles you can do with the light on? I always fill up as soon as the light comes on if not before but was just curious.

Yep, make note of every tank I fill, even if it's just 10 litres

I can get anywhere from 250-330 depending on driving style and driving conditions.

ive done 45 miles with the light on i darent go any further though just incase it ran out.

Yeah I've done about 25-30 miles with the light on. I get very nervous though, haha.

I generally make between 280-300 before the light comes on. Seen 350 miles before now though on a long run up to Scotland. Totally depends on time of year, driving style and conditions etc.
