If I fill it up on the main stand and squeeze the last 1/2 litre in the reserve light comes on at around 165-170 miles.
Thats interesting. I did a quick calculation in my head the other day and came up with 60 mpg which I thought was waaaay too high. So, allowing for the fact that I am useless at sums, maybe 55 could be about right. I usually go to 150 before filling up, and light is not on at that point, so it is interesting to know that your light comes on at 165 to 170. I think the manual says you've got about 30 miles once its on, so maybe the smaller tank ain't so bad after allĀ

If you want to give God a good laugh, tell him your plans.
