Comes on at about 50lt doing city k'sThe gauge is spoton, but the range warnings are that way due to the idiot tolerance they engineer in to it I guess.

Well it seems mine are abit dodgy too. My fuel light comes on and the car beeped "80Kms" but when I filled it up it only took just over 51litres!, the outside temp degrees is out by around 8 degrees C, it seems to be especially bad on the cold mornings we have had here in the adelaide hills the past few days (temp says 14degrees C but outside its damn cold/foggy and around 6degrees C).

Wow! Mine was under by about that same amount.As for fuel gauge the Litres Used continues to be spot on; it read 53.1 used yesterday and I managed to squeeze in 53.3 (had to make sure it was a nice round $ number!).

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

Apparently they know what the problem is and should have a TSB for it "soon".It sound like it will take 2 weeks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
