Went for a 400 mile blast around gods country.Thought i'd get fuel in Aberystwyth but couldn't find any high octane, so kept pressing on, with a few stops to see friends etc.Just about made it to Carmarthen where I took the photo.Best bit was watching my wifeys face each time i passed a fuel station selling TVO or similar.The engine was growling but the screaming was coming from the passenger seat.What a great drive though,cant wait o get back.
 
Plenty of fuel for an old grey Fergie then?
Sounds like you had a blast.

We got away with it in the Florida Keys in May. We were just nicely on the "7 mile bridge" when the fuel light came on. First 2 fuel stations were still closed after Irma and we were beginning to get a little concerned. Finally found a place open at the far end of Big Pine Key.

Fuel Light Roulette ....... not for the faint hearted :D:D
 
Played this game with a hire car the other year - rolled into SLC airport drop off, with it saying 5 miles left ( return empty deal ) the attendant said its the lowest he'd ever seen :D

Wont be trying it again though, as it involved lots of coasting, and very steady driving :nailbiting:
