... and to be fair, you didn't actually run out - the car didn't stutter to a standstill

If that is the case, then it sounds like we should rely on that more than the gauage.
And the +04 cars have more bars in their gauages than the pre 04 cars. I do perfer the design of the +04 cars tbh. In fact the whole dash cluster is different, as they also have a clock.

Though it would be nice to have more than 6 bars on the temp gauge. Also a clock would be nice, it's not fun trying to look at your watch driving down the motorway at night

Thanks for reassuring me that I am not alone. I will attempt another run to the petrol station now that my Dad has found another 10 litres. Hmmm. 20 litres now. I wonder if the light'll still be on?

They shortened the rev counter on the +04 clocks as well

I drove about 25 miles with no bars on that morning - I think you tried unsuccessfully to do 30. I'm sure the taxi ride to the filling station made up for it though

The S2K Comedy Fuel Guage ™ told me I had 2 bars when I parked it the night before. In the morning, the guage was empty and the car wouldn't start.
this has happened to me as well
