K's Remaining After Fuel Light

[VWEAPN]

thats how i felt today, i was shi##ing bricks.
the official figure is 635km out of a 55L tank MK4 GTI

it says in the manual from memory, think mine is 7lt?

I just had to drive over 100kms country driving with the light on, the gauge
dropped quickly from 1/4 to empty.

I had to check the book for tank size (7L reserve), gradually dropping my speed to about 80kmh and trying to stay around 6L/100km.

I made it with about 2L to spare, but being on a road with almost no traffic
when it's getting late and its wet isn't much fun, and keeping the radio, lights and wipers off, and not using cruise as it kills the economy on hills.

Radio, lights and wipers would make bugger all difference - certainly not worth the increased danger in not using wipers and headlights IMHO.
