Go to a tesco's,sainburys,texaco and fill up and then pretend you have lost your wallet and they give you a slip and take your details and you have to pay it back within 7 days

Trust me it works! :)

I get about 20 miles. On a full tank.

Old saying that aparently you can go 40 miles when you are in the red, Although Nova's were put together by pissed Spanish midgets, Probably.

Drive VERY frugally chap & you can possibly get 20 out of it.

Not a chance, all of my lights used to come on about five minutes before you run out, plus aswell you could have far less due to years of sediment and crap filling up the bottom of the tank and reducing the actual remaining amount, wait till tomorrow bud!

Only once did my petrol light come on on the nova and i honestly didnt get 100 metres before it spluttered and cut out!

And from that day i knew never to trust my nova petrol gauge and never let it get low!lol
