110! I am impressed - at your nerves of steel! I might be prepared to try running it dry doing laps around the forecourt, but not otherwise.

The last owner claimed that he had run out in mine with 70 miles showing on the range so have been nervous of running it too low.

The FFRR has a tank capacity of 106 litres according to the handbook. Add in a bit for the various pipes, filter etc and probably 110 all told for a completely dry vehicle.

the pump might have said 99.44 litres Gregg but can you be sure that was the amount that went in the tank.... ... - .- -.

I regularly pull in to the petrol station with only dashes on the range indicator...

I've let it get pretty low at times. I'm 4 minutes from the US/Canada border and petrol is a LOT cheaper over there. Filling up in the States can be compared with LPG in the UK: much cheaper and the car still works. |

Being a relative newbie I see I am also a bit chicken as I refill just below the quarter - my old p38 used to run out on the quarter the needle used to register full for a long time after a fill up though |

i've learnt the hard way of not running the car that low - fuel pump in SA cost me R10k (GBP560) - after that i made (and is still doing that) of filling up when it reaches ¼ tank |

I forgot to check most of the time but once I had it at 0 miles for about ten miles when I got it and it took 165 quid to fill to brim |

I've often in my previous RR driven on 0 for more the than a few miles. Once or twice I've ran out of fuel, using just arriving home! |
