Re: [DML] sending units & Houston Special

Hi Welmoed, I'm sorry but I just don't buy those figures. While it's 
true that on a perfectly flat road driving at a constant speed you could 
run any pickup down to 5 litres, I've driven a DeLorean with 5 litres of 
fuel in it and it was completely undrivable in any but the most gentle 
corner or the most gentle accelleration.

The point of a baffle is to allow the car to run *as normal* when the 
tank gets low.
