....It's best not to run your tank right down below about a quarter full so you avoid the 'dregs'.

????
That's a first. That's what the fuel filter is for.


....Perhaps I'm wrong but why clog up your fuel filter unecessarily?

I think I am in the ball park age wise with RR and yes we never ran the tanks down in our 3.0ltr Capri's , Savage Cortina's or Dolomite Sprints guaranteed to suck up crap... :) So still do the same now 1/4 tank fill up or get very nervous....old school.

....Hi Steve and a Very Warm Welcome to the forum!  :drinking:

It appears that I might be losing my crown of being the oldest guy on here - I'm 65yo but 22yo at heart according to several forum folks. Being divorced, the trouble is that I still fancy the 20 and 30-something ladies.

Yes, Old School with fond memories of the cars you mentioned  :happy2:

But I think that Gray's point is valid.

Thankful that my 25 year old daughter lives in Hollywood then. RR, will you warn me if heading to Hollywood any time soon?

Hi

I get between 280 and 310 but my car spends all its time driving in London.
