 You're plainly not trying hard enough... ;)

 I think the range readout on the computer works it out according to remaining fuel, against the mpg achieed over the last 10 miles?

I'm always running low.  I tend to run out of fuel in every vehicle I possess  :-[

My wife had had her Astra G for nearly a year before she knew it had an amber low fuel light, anywhere near the red and she'd fill it up ... just in case!  :-?

I have driven happily with 0 blinking. Having come from a poverty spec Audi 100 avant td that would scrape 100mls on the red section. But the same vaux ran out with 9 mls left on computer. 12pm middle nowhere. Plod eventually drove me to gas station cos of neighbouring unsavoury campers.
Dont believe mid.
Also it oppss your diesel pump.

When I came home last night.....the MID is flashing range 18miles......guage is near the end stop and the amber light is flashing too.....I havent got any LPG either.....ran out  :-[

But im confident it will make it this morning the 3 miles to fill up with LPG and then accross the road to the Shell garage to bung £20 of petrol in it......we shall see!
