    Not really listening to you now, why not run along, you are boring me now. None of your posts seem to be either constructive or relevant to anything.

    You are the worst type of opinionated keyboard warrier, the one with little knowledge or experience of his own but just enjoys slagging things and people off as they have nothing constructive or intelligent to say. In other words you are opinionated in a situation were your opinion is pretty much irrelevant.

    So you become beligerant and insulting.

    No one is really listening to you. You continue to spout tripe about how good Rovers aren't.

    £10 worth of fuel at £1.25/litre would only mean only 8 litres of fuel was pumped in. With an average Corsa having a 45 litre tank that's not a lot of fuel - just under 2 gallons. Most petrol gauges take a while to settle down to the true level of fuel. In one of my manuals for a Mazda it says that the on board computer only recalculates the range when more than 20 litres of fuel in pumped in.

  • I have a Vauxhall with a computer that still calculates mileage when the gauge is on red. So I agree that £10 in a Corsa wouldn't move the guage.
