Now if only there was a way for the car to tell me there was exactly that much when the low fuel light comes on. Sadistically I've always liked seeing if I could get my old MCS to tell me there are 0 kms left in the tank's range before going to fill up. Farthest I've gone on 0 is probably another 3-5 km before chickening out and filing up. Sweating bullets the whole time!

My light usually comes on at 300 miles. And fill up with 11 gallons. so it's about 2 gallons for me.


Easiest way for me to watch the gas is to just reset the trip odometer to zero after every fill up.

The 17s with the new display will give estimated range on the fuel.
I have driven most of the way from Windsor to London with the low fuel light on more times than I would like to admit.

I've driven about 60 miles with the low fuel light on. Came on right as I started my home commute, but needed to rush home so I planned on doing it in the morning commute, no big deal, done that plenty of times.

Next morning, left, drove 10 miles to the gas station I prefer, and realized I didn't have my wallet. By this time I was on "E". Drove home, got wallet then stopped at the first gas station, now below "E".

Still only took 11.58 gallons to fill up.

got the mxp sp installed. For those wondering, it is definitely louder than perrin. i think this is the loudest exhaust for those looking for a mature sound while keeping drone out of the cabin.

Time to sell the perrin 2.5 now
