I recently was in the red zone, saying i got 30 km left...
After a restart it suddenly was outside the red zone :audibash:

Mine too. After a day out I get home with plenty of fuel in the tank. Then on start up the following morning the gauge always reads a lot lower.

Yeah, 82, but you have to have balls of steel to let the gauge get down into the red.
Done that - couple of times on German Autobahn :biggrin3: Than had to follow a truck for 10 miles for the nearest petrol station.
Also this year on trip to Poland - 177 EUROS to fill the car on german Autobahn - that hurt me a lot :audibash: :audibash: :audibash:

That's bonkers. I hope it was 102 octane at least!

Was the V-Power 100. Hard to hit the same station each time. I guess the 102 would have been even more expensive. - I'm pretty sure I paid 160 euro for 102 octane 2 years ago.

Bloody hell, 100+ octane out of the pump!? Highest here is 98 :-( Is only 98 but smells better than 91 or 95.

just heard the local Shell station near me is shut for a couple of days due to no fuel.
Glad I filled up yesterday...

Might drive around for a bit past all the queues in the Passat on electric to lord it over everyone.

Good call. Unfortunately for me, I've only got my 2001 Specialized Hardrock to rely on if this madness continues :(

Tomorrow everyone’s tanks will be full and they’ll be feeling sheepish. Bet there are no queues. Well, maybe Sunday.
