Title: How many..
Post by: Del Boy on 08 October 2008, 20:05:28
Mrs. Filled the mig up yesterday and the computer said 387 miles, thats the most I or she's ever got, usually after a fill up it goes to about 306 miles at the most. Still said 380 when she got home this afternoon. Still she isn't complaining. Didn't happen when I had it though  >:(

She beat you to the 'Free miles' eh?

'Nother petrol tale--When I had a 2L scorpio (last model),every time I used my local filling station,wether putting fuel in or not, when i left the garage the fuel gauge would drop down to zero and the warning light would come on. Stayed that way for several miles or until a restart. I wonder how many drivers were affected by that and went back for more!

Anyone explain that one?

When filling after a long (and slow) motorway spell, I got 500miles on a couple of occasions. That's a couple of occasions over a period of 10 years...  :-/
