So its happened twice now and I am sure you’re all thinking I am just an idiot. However, my daily work commute is a mere 7 km and on the way home sometimes I drop off a friend and this adds 1.2km to the journey. On both occasions I have had 100 km range according to the trip computer and I know this is measured on your driving style and usage so far etc etc. On the gauge there is a full ¼ tank.

After dropping off my friend, lets say I’ve driven with a heavy right foot, (in manual mode) for about 4-5 km, literally no more, The car has cut on me and will not start again.

I’ve had the car from new and I remember one time when I literally had no range and all the dots had gone from gauge, I still managed to get to a petrol station which was 2 km away.

Is there something wrong with the fuel tank or do I just have to fill up at ¼ tank and literally not go above 2,000 revs?

Your thoughts?
