	Yeah the corsa c has two stages on the petrol light. It comes on red when you got about 10 litres left, then it flash's when virtually empty

	what is this flashing red light you guys talk about? i've seen people mentioning it on other petrol threads. Is this only with the Corsa C? cos i've never had the red light flash in the Corsa B.

	This is the sorta post that makes me love my Derv so much :D Anything less than 35MPG (£10 for 100 miles) in a new shape 1200cc corsa is crazy!! I used to get 40mpg+ in my 1.28v and that had 120k on the clock on 16"s. I feel you lot should really ease up on the right foot, and stick to under 3k revs. Matt

	in my 1.2 c i got max 240 off full tank. in my derv im gettin between 475-550, depending on driving style etc
MattyB	posted on 25th Apr 04 at 18:29
	1 US Gallon = 3.79 litres geez Oi u lot, derv is the way forwards :thumbs: i've had 644 miles out of my tank before! :D
Paul H	posted on 25th Apr 04 at 18:22
	mine is real bad £30 = 220 miles i'm taking it in again i think as it suffers from quite alot of piston slap when cold

Dean_H	posted on 25th Apr 04 at 18:12
	I thought 1 gallon = 4.5 litres but i went on www.askjeeves.com and it said 3.79 litres to a gallon... Cheers mate im happy with 40mpg
MattyB	posted on 25th Apr 04 at 18:03
	That calculation is incorrect mate 1 Gallon = 4.56litres £10 / 0.79 = 12.66 litres you purchased. 12.66 / 4.56 = 2.78 Gallons you used so: 110 miles / 2.78 Gallons = 39.57MPG Matt PS: i work this shit out all the time, and to be fair, 40mpg combined is a good figure for a revvy little 16v motor
jrsteeve	posted on 25th Apr 04 at 18:02
	Sounds about right depending on ur driving mate. A full tank was about £35 and would do about 300 miles.
Dean_H	posted on 25th Apr 04 at 17:58
	Oh and 17's but doubt that will make any difference.....
Dean_H	posted on 25th Apr 04 at 17:58
	Irmscher backbox, but the fuel consumption was the same before i had it fitted.
combatprojex	posted on 25th Apr 04 at 17:56
