@@webkritik5411 The M25 is different to normal motorways because it's a 'smart motorway' meaning it has no hard shoulder, which is space at the side of the road for vehicles to pull over into safely in case of emergency for example, running out of fuel or if the car breaks down.
When I read the title, I thought we were going to find out how far they could physically push the car and have strangers join in to see how far it goes but this works too
Only after the video ended and I read the comments that I could understand it wasn't checking how long the car takes to come to a complete stop after the petrol finishes.
Don’t do it on a motorway, ‘it’s illegal to knowingly not have enough fuel before entering the motorway. It’s not illegal to run out tho. It would be hard to prove normally that you didn’t know, but you have made a video.
Just so people know, when the indicator hits zero it obviously doesn't mean there's no more fuel in the car- some fuel is kept in reserve for exactly when this happens.
I'd like to also point out that not every car does this. For example, my Volvo decreases in mileage every 5 miles and once it gets to 15 miles it just notes "- - - - Miles Remaining". From that point, you have 15 miles of normal driving remaining before the car starts to chug like a damaged train and dies out like fucking clockwork. No reserve.. Nothing. Just a guessing game of how far away you are from the nearest fuel station.
It's happened once before. As soon as it started chugging I was like, "Shit, I didn't even do 15 miles though?" Luckily, I was like ¼mile from the nearest fuel station so I just limped to it. Never made that mistake again. My car never goes below 100miles left
At least on german cars, the 'reserve tank' aka whats left after the range says 0, is usually 5 liters. The pump cant pysically get the tank and fuel lines completely dry, but with an efficient car that can still mean up to 100km, especially at constant speed on a motorway.
I'd expect similar results in most vehicles. The manufacturers know we're going to be stupid and run our vehicles to empty - so they just design the gauge to say you're empty when you in fact have 1/8 of a tank or so left.
Was thinking this was similar to Hamish and Andy so cool to see it was inspired by them. Actually nice to see some people tapping into Hamish and Andy, found them last year and they are a wealth of content. Very jealous of the Aussies having them on radio.
In Germany you actually get fined when your Car breaks down because its out of gas. They argument that this is clearly avoidable and therefore they fine you
It's not specifically illegal on motorways, but you can be convicted under the Road Traffic Act 1991, Section 2 for Careless, and inconsiderate, driving. So just convictable on any road
One thing to note is that VWs have always had a concept of having a 'spare tank'. In a 50s bus that was literally a lever to switch to another smaller physical tank. In by New Beetle that comes in the form of a warning light and beep thats given to warn you of being in the reserve range. That in various years is 1.5 - 2 gallons. It appears in that 12 up New Beetle (maybe cause its euro spec ? ) they've instead gone with stating 0 range. The distance of ~60miles corresponds to about the same reserve capacity as the other models though given their normal fuel efficiency.
Reminds me of "The Dealership" episode from Seinfeld. Kramer takes a car for a test drive with another salesman. Kramer misses the turn to go back to the dealership; instead, he plans to give the car a full test of a Kramer daily routine. Kramer and the salesman, with the dealership in sight, decide instead to go for it in the manner of Thelma and Louise. LOL
Hamish and Andy have done so many quality ideas you see redone on TH-cam. This, going through a car wash in a convertible so many prank call bits and countless other things I don't recall. They would of made amazing TH-camrs
This reminds me of that Top Gear episode where they race to Chernobyl but the challenge is to run out of petrol way before they enter the exclusion zone
This video reminded me of Hamish and Andy's Operation: Dry Tank video. They did use a different vehicle but theirs lasted 111.9 km / 69.5 miles. Not bad. And no wonder why it reminded me of it lol its in the description.
The bad thing is that my first two trucks would similarly go very far on empty, so I never cared much about the fuel getting low. My newer truck, however, didn't do the same, so I wound up spending some time on the side of a highway waiting for a gas can... Auto makers should be more consistent with this stuff.
Wasn't the location Blackheath at 4:23? And I don't recognise that stretch of the M25 with houses to the right of your car or to the left of your camera at 3:44 (the road looks more like the A2 coming into SE London)? Lol
I once got caught short on a journey in my 02 TDi Octavia. Got off the M40 looking for a filling station. Eventually we found one, and as I pulled up to the pump, it started spluttering. 58 miles after the car said Zero!
I'm guessing these examples both being pretty close to 100 km is probably no coincidence. Just seems too close to a nice round number in international units that it looks like vehicle manufacturers might have picked a reserve value designed to give approx 100km of range to get their owners out of a bind.
Thank god you didnt break down at Dartford. For one its Dartford but also breaking down near Dartford crossing would of been stressful especially if you were inside the tunnel! 😅 but am quite impressed and worried how far your car managed to get to
Good to know, but I suspect part of the reason for that seemingly early warning of 0 miles is to prevent the engine injectors being prematurely end-of-life'd by bottom of fuel tank nasties.
some cars will go out before it reaches 0, some will go out well after, and the gauge is set so you have a small amount more than you think so you have enough to get to a petrol station thinking its completely empty

You've got some balls to do this on the M25 with no hard shoulder

For non English speaking natives, what does hard shoulder mean and what is the special thing about the M25?

You usually get a about a gallon of fuel left in VAG cars. Whatever your mpg is will be about how many miles you can go on 0
The Wayne’s World base ball cap makes this so much better
"left right and rhubarb" only someone from the uk
That's crazy! I had a car once that when it hit zero that really meant zero. I usually had about three more miles left to get gas and that was it.
The London Southend bit got me 😂😭
Perhaps a blooper video is in the works since you’re in isolation?
