okay so i have 850\'s all round and im just wondering if anyone has a rough idea of how many miles can be done from the point the fuel light comes on.. driving off boost o/c : )

and the same Q for 550\'s also

dosn\'t have to be exact, just a rough guess would be cool!

I am not to sure but i think with most cars the light comes on with about 1 gallon left in the tank. So what ever your cars MPG is then it should give you a rough guide.

I used 550\'s and later upgraded to 850\'s.  I didnt notice a difference in MPG and when I fitted the 850\'s I had also upgraded mp pump/fpr/catback/ic Hardpipes & bigger SMIC  (I think im just saying they should be pretty much the same! :Giggle  )

im just wondering as my fuel needle is out and i always crap my pants when it comes on, not knowing how long i have till i conk out. so if anyone has a nice fuel gauge unmolested and they want to sell it *wink wink*

I THINK (Not to be account for if i am wrong or anyone tests my theroy) you should get about 20 miles ... very careful driving as i got 15 miles out of mine limping along the motorway before i got to a petrol station.

Tidy, cheers dude

Got caught out last year on the Motorway when the light came on, I cruised at 55 for 43 miles before finding the next service stop luckly as it was starting to cut as I parked it next to the Fuel pump lol

i got caught out once, and coasted to a stop beside an old granny at a bus stop.. boy was my face red that day

Tim from RX motors told me it should be about 10miles but it would be the way he drives :Giggle.
15 miles is about bang on.

Doesn\'t the PFC let you adjust the gauge positions too ? Some tuners make the gauge read low to stop you getting surge.

I have done around 25 miles odd on the orange light
