From 2 bars to flashing?

[David C]

From my observations, first bar is between 6 and 7 liters off a full tank, second bar being another 5 to 6 liters, etc. On constant highway driving with cruise control and no stopping, I would get about 110km on the first bar and hit 180km on the second. Best I've done was 125km on first and 190km on second. Fuel consumption was 6.4L/100km. Out of the 8 bars, the first 3 are half the tank. Including the flash bar, the last 3 bars are about 15L total. When i get down to 2 bars, I know I still have at least 10L left of fuel, so roughly 100km worth of margins even with bad fuel consumption. I reset one of the trip odometer when I fill up, so that helps me keep track of my gas mileage and range. It sure gives me a little pinch to the wallet when I see the first bar go at only 50km in winter city time compared to 115km on highway drives.

I never fill the tank past the pump automatic stop either.

Nope. I do flip the gun over 180° for about 10-15 seconds so it doesn't drip when I take it out tho. So far I've pumped from all over the province and east coast states and it's been pretty consistent with my records. More consistent that if I was to try to fill up to the very max the gun would allow me.

Best yve done on first bar is 133km and 201km on second bar. Driving long distance on highway at speed limit. I managed 735km on 37L and yeah......I was on one bar flashing. I rarely ever let it go that low but that said, it varies on mine at one bar left. Sometimes it stays solid a while and other times, it flashes within a few km's of being at one bar.
