I think the petrol gauge ( before tampered with, ie: when putting new dials in and not quite getting the needle back in the spot on place!
)... the needle may drop that far, I can't really remember!
What I do know is that I've never managed to put the 'manual quoted' amount in.... even from empty! 45.... maybe 47 litres if I recall correctly.
Anyways, I measured it one day ( with the use of a full jerry can in the boot of the car! ) and when the light first came on solid, I drove until I ran out - I clocked up 60 miles! Was quite surprised and obviously I was driving reservedly.
I think its worth monitoring / measuring once in yer ownership, so you've got an idea ( obviously depends on your driving style, mods etc... ) although I don't recommend running your car to empty every tank of fuel!!
I know that since I did that, I haven't done it again .... and since then various mods, additions etc have been made and I'm sure I wouldn't get that many now, when the light comes on!
Hope that's enlightened you a little .... or at least inspired you to find out?!
