Hey up people.

Just been out in the ST today.... I had 0 miles remaining in the tank (was past red on the Gauge).......Filled up with £20 of petrol.... And the distance i have done today was 24 miles.....Then when I got home after the 24 miles.... my Low fuel light came on..... Now i have 45 miles left!!!!

Is there anyway to reset it?

Remove fuse 26 from the fuse box under the bonnet for a hour or so then replace it.

Heres a thread that may help you

where seems to be the problem? if the £20 of fuel gave you 69 miles, you did 24 that day, leaving you with 45 miles remaining. am i missing something or does that make sense?

20 quid isnt going to get you many miles these days mate especially after your distance to empty read zero before you put some fuel in!

Normal TBH.

AT £1.15 a litre, £20 equates to 3.83 gallons. That works out at an average of 18mpg. for the 69 miles
In this cold weather with a car using more juice initially to warm the engine and more idling to defrost stuff and electrical things switched on, I can see why a normal functioning ST could return that MPG
