Hi folks
many thanks for the replies.
Many moons ago I decided to see how much fuel was left in the tank of a 4 cylinder Camry wagon after the needle went to zero. No light on that one.
I went a surprisingly long way and didn't run out as I 'chickened out' when I thought it was far enough !
From that moment on the motor ran inconsistently badly, back fired, wouldn't tick over and then run perfectly again for weeks. I went almost crazy trying to fix that probelm. The first thought was it had sucked up some muck from the bottom of the tank creating an intermittent blockage somewhere. After a year of frustration and doing everything that seemed logical the fault simply disappeared one day thank God.
I vowed never to do that again !
Back to the plot.
I know diesel's have fantastic economy but I have a petrol model and because of the above history I wont go too low on fuel so it leaves me wondering ?
Im getting around 600 klms on a tank of 91 octane before the light comes on, while on long trips, (when I fill right up, but not right to top of the filler - just close).
That reduces to around 550 klms general driving.
I'll have a chat to the Hyundai service / parts people and see what they say.
If I find out I'll post it here - maybe others may find it interesting too?
Many thanks again for your interest
