The last fill was £43, the one before that was £39. Definately a smaller tank than the old mini one, i could fill that with nearly £50 and it would last 5 days! At least my R56 one is cheaper to fill up, and i can run it for two weeks no problem.

Ah well... thats really bad for the engine... says in the handbook, dont run below 40 miles range I think it is. Not 10 miles past!!
