You should count yourself lucky it's 'only' 75 litres. My R Class has an 85 litre tank & is an eye watering £100+ to fill :'( :y

that's assuming you actually run out of fuel before you fill up. I filled up on the low fuel light yesterday ......... it was a mere £98 ;)

Post by: Marks DTM Calib on 12 January 2013, 21:51:31: I used to see 600 from the tank every week on my 2.5 manual on my commute ( motorway)

Translates to about 360 miles of mixed (mostly town) driving :-\

Post by: davemac on 13 January 2013, 11:58:31: Put £50 in yesterday before the light came on and it showed two thirds full. I suspect it was only enough to get the inside of the tank wet in reality! ;D ;D ;D ;D
