OK, please feel free to take the p1ss if I'm being blonde here, but....
I was just trying to work out my rough fuel efficiency, so I looked on this site and saw that my bike should have a 20 litre tank. It's a mk1, registered on an 02 plate, so I'm guessing one of the last box-eye ones. According to a page on this forum about changes to models, means I've got a 20 litre tank.
This go me thinking..... I always fill up a few miles after the petrol light comes on (usually about 20 ish). I fill up and it normally costs me about £21 on todays prices so about 15 litres, but a 20 litre tank should cost £28, that's quite a bit of difference.
Is it that the petrol light is set to come on when you efectively have a quarter of the tank left? Seems a lot to me.
