no, not tried it, the owner's manual says when the fuel light comes on you have approximately 50 miles range, but that's dependent on how you drive it. L319 D4 HSE

Did anyone see the TopGear episode when Clarkson drove from London to Edinburgh AND back on 1 tank of fuel in V8 4.2ltr Audi. Amazing!

Anyhow, if it says 95RON in the handbook, use that, don't however use Supermarket petrol, it is cheap and yes it does come from the same refineries, but it tends to be crap fuel without any of the good additives.

I use Optimax in my Supercharged jag, relly noticed a difference in my VTEC Honda S2000, so it is good stuff. If interested, same engine g/box as you and 75ltr fuel tank does about 300miles to fill-up time. Averaging about 24mpg combined. 30mpg on the m/way cruising.

has anyone tried seeing what happens after the miles run out on your range? On my car now it just says low fuel but i still have 3 gallons left in the car.

Tell you what is great about the TDv6 though................ 295 miles round trip to Tiree this week, fuel out on the island is £3 a litre.......... Home to Tiree, a week of short trips on island single track roads towing a trailer then a long drag back home stuck behind caravans and artic trucks in the pouring rain. The trip comp dropped from 28.5mpg for the trip there to 21.7 when I drove of the ferry this afternoon after a few drives in low ratio in the sand dunes and had recovered to 23mpg when I refilled at the local Sainsbury's tonight. My last RR would have struggled to get 22 on the trip there and never got better than 18 while out on the island. Makes you feel very smug to cruise passed Esso and Shell filling stations with £1.09 a litre showing on the price board to get back to 0.95ppl in the central belt. In a couple of weeks I'm off to the southcoast for a weekend and am looking forward to getting all the way on a single fill-up - all 510 miles of it should be achievable on about 3/4 tank without wellying the car and sticking to 70-75mph for the trip. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
