To all you who said it can't be done... lol...

I have reached 300 miles from one tank of petrol!!

Moroway driving the whole way but not hanging about, if you know what I mean!!

well to be fair it only read 298.8 on the trip guage but the light had only just come on, so that's good enough for me... :lol:

My light normally comes on at around 260 miles, and usually fill her up at 280 - 290, never takes over 52 litres though and the claimed capacity is 60 litres so there may still be 8 litres/50 miles in there when I fill up. Therefore i think over 300miles is easily achievable, i just hate getting in my car and that fekkin horrible beep blasting out at you :|

Urm I've had just under 400 out of mine...
Make a whole heap of difference if you sit on the motorway at 72mph compared to 80...
I've regually gone from Edinburgh to Birmingham (350 miles) and had just under 1/4 tank left
