Now there have been a few times in the middle of BFE where I was getting very nervous, but still made it to a station under it's own power.  One time I put 6.19 gallons in the darn thing. :o   Jay knows the place - 76 station in Biggs Junction, after eating lunch in Tygh Valley  8) .  One can burn a lot of fuel on that ride.  :-X ;D

Yes indeed Rob, know it well now thanks to you bro!  :thumbs: :thumbs: :chugbeer:

I have no qualms about going an extra 30 miles once the low fuel light comes on so I can get to a fuel station that has NO ethanal added.

any one knows from a device to accurately measure the remaining fuel on the tank?

Dipstick!

No, not you Martin, a dipstick for the tank.    ;)

Sorry I mis typed. Should have been 20.95 Litres that I put in. Sorry for the confusion. I'll try to wear my glasses when typing.

The tank only holds 21.95 liters or 5.8 US gallons...so if Chap can squeeze in an extra 8 liters , I say way to go!

I have no qualms about going an extra 30 miles once the low fuel light comes on so I can get to a fuel station that has NO ethanal added.

My highest bet was once in Dubrovnik, south of Croatia, when I left the city with the fuel light on. According to my GPS, the next gas station was 25 miles away. When I got there (driving like an old lady going to church) it was closed  :banghead: I kept driving another 15 miles and found gas.
Total mileage of that tank: 401 km (252 miles). I refueled 21.3 lt (5.6 Gallon) to the neck plate.
After that, I did the experience many times that it is possible to drive 40 miles and still have a quarter of a gallon left, at least driving calmly.
BTW, I think I found wat I was looking for...
