Just a couple of weeks ago I chanced not topping up, thought I could just make it home after a long trip. Aproaching Bristol on a motorway, the range started dropping dramatically after reporting about 7 miles so I started driving as economically as possible and took the first off-ramp on ----- miles (sinking feeling). To cut a long story short, I drove 10 miles further with the lightest foot on the peddle while desparately trying to find a filling station in an unfamiliar area. Nerve-racking, but useful to know there is a reasonable reserve when you think you are done!
