Thanks Enoch - also the fact that I live in an island that is ten miles long I think itās pretty safe leaving 20miles in the tank...I've driven mine down to 10 miles left......fuel roulette
Filled it to the brim and it took 59 litres.... tank says capacity is 61 litres.:cheers:
Well, possibly that it caused your car to cut out.
Fair enough - will take that. Just never experienced that before and I have a Porsche 911, a Merc AMG ML55, a Classic Golf Mk2GTI 16v (and the wifeās Toyota)... and fuel has never been an issue with cutting out.
No worries. I hope you get it sorted and Iām hoping itās the fuel. The calibration on the Ford is possibly not as good as your other vehicles. One problem with the Ford āmiles to emptyā system is that it takes awhile to catch up. So, if you were driving economically yesterday and go hooning today it might be telling you that you have 20 miles left, when actually you have 5. As [MENTION=13920]Enoch[/MENTION] has shown its not an exact science although it sounds like his erred on the side of caution. On the island I imagine average mpg could be all over the place. Good luck, anyway
Thanks Ben - appreciated. Will try the petrol this weekend and then the tune. As for driving economically just not possible here - stop start go stop start go - Iām getting 9mpg and the top speed limit is 35! Hence a few track days planned for next yearNo worries.

Indeed!! I think I still had half a gallon or a bit more in there. It was earlier in the year and I can't recall exactly.Now that's proper fuel roulette:lol:
Come pay your neighbour a visit over the water here in Jersey sometime next year... our speed limit is 40mph and I'm getting 12-13mpg... you won't know yourself... and I promise no Donkey jokes now you're a Pony owner (although I would appreciate a heads-up as to whether you've got a beard or not as you know what they say about Guernsey people not being trusted with razors)

Lol nice one -yes will definitely bring it across in the summer! The tunnel is going to sound awesome!Come pay your neighbour a visit over the water here in Jersey sometime next year... our speed limit is 40mph and I'm getting 12-13mpg... you won't know yourself... and I promise no Donkey jokes now you're a Pony owner (although I would appreciate a heads-up as to whether you've got a beard or not as you know what they say about Guernsey people not being trusted with razors)
The tunnel over here under Fort Regent is a superb place to go WOT if you've got a modified exhaust... and they've made it much more fun now they've just built the new police station 75 yards from the east entrance
Got the JIMF (Jersey International Motoring Festival) at the end of May '18 and we always put on a good Mustang display, and it is very 'International' now as we had people from as far as Yeovil here this year... :help: !
One great thing about living on an island... the Mustang is a guaranteed head turner as you can never go fast enough past anyone that they don't notice you... come to think of it, you could effectively run out of fuel here in Jersey and just push it, and no-one would think you're moving any slower than normal!
Next time your driving down the south or east coast, honk your horn and if it's a clear day and I can see you I'll give you a wave :cheers: !
