Just today I went 12 miles past zero, buoyed on by the Top Gear prog. If i hadn't had arcturus junior with me i would have pushed it further but when your 15 yo daughter gives you the evil eye and says 'That's enough', you obey.

Top tip for when you're running out of diesel, is to select Mud & Ruts mode.

If memory serves me well car will go into reduced performance mode well before you actualy run dry as a safety measure,think its 50mls worth of fuel left in tank,but dont quote me!!!!!!!

How good was the Jag! that thing was amazing on fuel. I wonder if the FL2 Diesel would make it?

Good question, I think I have a fairly good record for economy achievements, with the FL2 and with many cars before it. The best I've done in the FL2 is 656 miles with an indicated 15 miles to go, that was the point I chickened out! Even if there was a lot more left than the guage indicated I don't think I'd have made the 750(?) miles of the Top Gear journey. The fill up at 656 miles worked out to just over 44mpg. Previous 'high' achievement was with Peugeot 406 HDI where my best was 975 miles on tank and several tanks at 950+; but I never quite made the 1000 miles, that would have been good. Given the apparent margins built in to the 'range' caculations maybe I could have made the 1000 miles, I'll never know !!! Maybe I'll get another chance in future, at present next car is likely to be a Fiesta 'econotec' or whatever they call it!!! Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery! Company cars ... a thing of the past - May 2013. |

That’s the sort of thing my wife does - she believes everything she reads, just like Clarkson and co . Running the fuel so low on any car is not recommended because of the chance of sucking any foreign bodies ( ) in the fuel tank, into the injection system where it can cause damage. I would say that this visual function would be useful in an emergency only and not as a regular of fun thing to play with 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Run your tank down to empty as often as you can so the dirt doesn't build up in your tank, let the fuel filter catch it all as this gets replaced at service time. At work

I ran mine down to about 2 miles below zero when late for an appointment, started it up when I returned from my meeting and it cut out when reversing out of the parking bay...!! I restarted it and it got me the 3 miles I need to get to Shell!!
