Try it. If you make it you'll know the answer. If you don't there'll be a few minutes of peace for everyone here.

I've gone and extra 60 miles in my bm when the range said 0 but my old astra 2.2 was pathetic and had about 10 miles left when the needle was at the bottom of the gauge.

I have never seen the red light on in my car but I've often been as close to empty on the fuel gauge as possible.

Can anyone confirm if all Nova's actually have a light when you are low on fuel?
