Hi everyone I have just filled up the car as I am going to blackpool tommorow , and to my horror my miles left display shows I have 257 miles until empty. I cant belive this so could someone please confirm that the tank on a c max is way to small . ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I REALLY HATE THIS

CAR AT THE MOMMENT.

I believe the fuel tanl on al to be 55L or just a fraction over 12 gallons
Thus at 30 MPG this equarws ro 360 miles or with a diesel at 50 <PG to just under 600 miles

CHEERS richard

Not sure if the C-Max is the same but on my old Astra the 'miles left' uses your recent mpg (say over last 20 miles) to calculate how many miles are left in the tank. Hence if you have been burning rubber to get to the petrol station it will assume you will drive like that for the next tank full. If you set off on a long journey and drive in an 'economical' way you shouldfind that the miles left actually increases initially.
