I suspect a roundabout triggered the light a bit early this time (Can't help it, it really likes roundabouts...)

    And having checked the handbook, for the google robot:
    An Audi A3 2.0 tdi's fuel level warning light comes on when there are 7 litres remaining in the tank.
    Just remembered - I think the Jag was during the race to do the Christmas lights somewhere. Hammond had a Blue Motion IIRC.

    Clarkson did the endurance test (London to Edinburgh and back on a single tank) in an Audi A8 diesel in series 4, episode 4.

    I did remember it, but I've not quite got the memory to remember the series or date.
