What are peoples average miles once your petrol warning light illuminates....? Mine comes on a few mm above the 'empty' mark and I'm never sure how far I can realistically push it even driving at a steady pace. As a guesstimate .. I would risk a steady 20 miles..?

On my door glass, the rubbers dont touch and wipe the glass as the window goes up and down, also it means when washing the car, the water runs straight into the door cavity. Is everyones like this or is mine wrong? :unsure:
