This is just to warn you guys about that the fuel tank even stated 40L but not 40L are useable.

They said 40L of fuel tank. I will put it to about 33-35L of maximum useable fuel.

When the petrol warning light lits up, you can go upto 80KM-85KM to DRY tank.
Was stopped at the middle of the road for no petrol, filled roughly 2L of petrol, went to the nearest petrol station and filled full tank which shows only 33.414L(roughly add 2L earlier added in) you will get a figure of 35.414L .. So it points out that 4-5L of the tank are un-useable.

My mileage is 1500+ km. The figures of my FC 15-18 sens per kilometer and a range of 12-14KM per liter, 90%town 10%highway

To play safe, I would recommend a maximum of another < 50km zone after the light lits up.

Agree with your statement...
