Does anyone play this

You start your long journey with minimal ammounts of fuel and try to get as far as you can without stopping...

I played it today I was driving from Brum back home, I started with my needle on the red. drove past about 4 service stations untill the fuel light came on about 25 miles away from Silverstone. I had a choice of stopping there, I could have carried on to Oxford, but I pussied out.

There you have it, motorway Roulette.

Never try to drive far with the petrol light on in a Corsa I found out when the petrol light comes on you only have roughly 10-12miles before you are out of petrol completely

My petrol light and fuel gauge don't really work too well either - non GM fuel tank that only holds about 42 litres, the GM ones hold 45

In his GT? Sounds fun... The fuel light comes on, meaning he has 50 meters until empty
