So your a con man for charging extra to people who run out of fuel
So what if thay was on there way to the pump or the gauge reads wrong
Iv been called out to people who run out and at the end of the day thay pay for the fuel we put in and for the time we are sorting it out so why charge more than some one whos fan bet snaps or for some one who cant undo there wheel nuts due to some numpty not torquing them up

Some of us appreciate a range of more than 100 miles. Some weeks I already have to fill up 3 or more times, and that's running from brim to empty. Range is one of the worst aspects of the Jimny. Why make it worse for yourself?

Well you should know better. It's possible to use more than half the tank's capacity without running out or breaking down. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous.jonathan wrote: i been a a vehicle tech since 1978
