Ive done it once in 7 years of driving. It was 4am on a Monday morning pissing down & freezing. Luckly I was just round the corner from my parents so I ditched the car & kipped at theirs, went to the garage at 9am with a can.

I didnt think it made a difference what petrol was used in a corsa then again there aren't any Shell stations in stoke anymore unless you want to hop on the M6

To be honest, ive come to realise, you still need to put petrol in the damn car so u may as well just try to keep it above half way?
