Another Petrol Funny

My 2.0l CC told me my fuel was low the other day, as it does... so I drove it around for another 20 or so miles, then filled it up... costing me approx. Â£33.00 and filling my tank.

A little while later, when it came to the next 'fill up' time, the car told me it was low, and I happened to run it for another 35-40 miles. I expected to be putting in about Â£35.00 worth of fuel, but to my suprise, Â£27.00 filled the tank, to the point where the hose continually clicked off, and the tank registered full.

Now, I'm no mathmatical genius, but I can work out that the price difference of the petrol would be about 19p a litre to see this difference in pricing!

What's going on? does my CC have the new 'resizing tank' option??

I thought about different driving styles and stuff, and I can understand why the range feature of the trip computer could be wrong, but I figured that the fuel guage would be run off a level in the tank, instead of a 'virtual' level based on the economy... but then again, the reserve light always seems to come on with 50 miles in the tank! lol...

Peugeot :razz:

Mate,ask Julia ,she advised on "refuling" that you take it out and then put it back all the way with 45^ tilt and press gently so the air can get out .
