I think we should all reset trip computers and see who gets the best readings.
Turn it into a CS challenge.
Best results over 3 miles from stand still or something.

I always run out of pretrol 
When the red light coms on I can get anything from 25-35 miles so when it comes on I just reset the odermeter and ignore the range as its pretty useless and reads 0.0 as soon as the light comes on.

I just have my petrol light, I know I've got at least 20 miles once it comes on constant, I had 26 out of it once, it got to 20 and I was literally at the side of a petrol station but I didn't want to go to that petrol station so I drove 6 miles to the next one 
Worst one I've done I pulled into the petrol station just as I went on to 20 miles then why I was sat waiting I heard the pump start sucking in air 
I generally try not to fill up without having the petrol light on for 20 miles tho, feel like I'm being robbed if I have to top up early 
I only trust my Corsa tho, in the Sprinter I see the petrol light come on and I'm straight to the nearest petrol station, not sure why I trust the Corsa so much but don't trust anything else.
I remember putting £10 in a Suzuki Ignis a couple of years ago then as I pulled off the petrol station the light come back on, then I had to drive about 30 miles round trip. Never drove a courtesy car so carefully in my life

Company cars rock You never have to worry about how much fuel you're using 
Tend to get 42 MPG on average in the pug.

I got about 3-4 trips to work and back on 0 range, I literally ran out of petrol and rolled down the hill into the petrol station (The shell on Aigburth road for the Scouse ones, Ian will know it ) couldnt believe my luck that it died at the top of the hill
