But the pics will let you see the small button you can push in the filler neck which gives about another 10 litres

Here ya go............. It's on the right hand side..... Just use the fuel pump to keep it pushed forward after you initially 'fill' the tank.... You can then get an extra 10 litres or so in. You must drive like a granny to be getting mpg like that!!!!! We get 40-41 ish in ours..... My dragon boxed one gets the slightly better mpg out of our two. Cheers Dave.

I usually get anywhere between 400 & 440-ish before the low fuel light comes on..... Then get around the 500 mile or better mark out of a tank. Quote:
Yeah meant your sig MPG..... Was surprised when it showed the dragon baox car had the better MPG out of ours...... To be honest though it's probably because as we each drive both cars we probably push the other one that bit harder trying to get the same out of it.  Cheers Dave.

| Re: Filled my Furby up with diesel and... Don't get me started on this.....it's on average 10p more a litre for weasel than petrol. Maybe I should've bought an Octy vRS after all.... The price of oil is currently causing fuel prices to rocket,but it doesn't help when ours was stupidly expensive to start with due to all the bloody tax. The Yanks are paying about 40p a litre and they're up in arms..... If only. When was ours last 40p a litre? 1963?
