Question Out of gas...

Okay, this is a simple question for my fellow Cayenne owners… and I’m definitely not looking to give the disapproving more ammunition. But here goes!

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I hate stopping for gas. Typically, I’ll wait until all the warning lights come on and the “remaining mileage” fails to register before I stop. After filling up several times with the above scenario, I have only put in 20-21 gallons max at fill.

Can you guess my question? Does anyone else out there have a similar annoyance? i.e. 5+ gallons left in the tank at empty?

That does not bother me too much. However, I have to admit that I really hate the beep that comes with the gas warning light. In my opinion the user experience is much better in the 996

I've put 25 gallons in the tank on more than one occasion. My wife tends to push her luck a bit in that department.

I'm one of those people that lives on the edge when it comes to refuelling. I leave the computer on my Cayenne TT on the range mode so I can see where I stand. I wish it did not read in 5 mile increments. However, its better than some MB and RR trucks which shut the range down once you get around 50 miles to empty. The beep no longer bothers me as I'm now used to it.
