Doesn't matter if a LET runs out of petrol, as long as your not on full throttle! Mines run out loads and loads of times as I didnt have a petrol guage for a while!

It does because he will probably call me asking for a tow to the nearest petrol station

I don't like filling mine up till petrol lights been on for at least 10 miles. I like to think I'm getting as much as possible out of a tank
Most I've done was 23 miles, cos I kept forgeting to go to the petrol station.
