:lol:Yesterday I took my C200 on its first long journey (Chester to Glasgow and back) and coming home I was keeping a beady eye on the xxx miles to empty reading on the computer. It was looking like it was going to be touch and go whether I would need to fill up before getting home but the computer was telling me I'd should make it back ok.
Then the computer switched to the reserve tank warning about 30 miles from home. Fair enough. But I am really surprised and confused as to why it stopped giving me the mileage remaining reading. So I had no idea how much further I could drive.
Not wanting to risk it I obviously gave up and filled up at the next petrol station. I suppose this is what Merceces intend but I just felt it was a pain in the ar*e as it was more than likely I had enough to get home, sit in front of the roaring fire, pour a glass of wine and fill the car up the next day! After a long drive you just want to get home and unwind :lol:
