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

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.
