Filled Belle up just now and with 44 miles to empty showing she took 36 l & the needle show full but is not over the full mark. So assuming the 44 miles = 9 l this makes the tank 45 l but the handbook says 55 l . Very odd. I could probably have got another litre or so by pumping in at very slow speed. Where are the other 8 ls or so?
We set off today in the 3.0 Roadster with the tank showing 1/2 full. About 20 miles later it was showing almost empty. Panic !!! Which route to take to find the nearest filling station ? Anyhow we made it easily (if cautiously) to a filling station with no E5, and after putting in £20 of E10 it was showing initially still very empty. Then as we set-off, magically 7/8 full. This evening I will do a proper fill-up at my local-ish E5 stockist, log the mileage, and remind myself to re-fill in about 200 miles.
