Happened to me last night!!

999R

Fuel light came on at 98 miles

Went to meet the gang at England's Rose hoping to fill up at Postcombe - closed due to football probably

Had dinner and very nice evening and set off for Watlington - about 8 miles to fill up - CLOSED

Turned right for Benson, about 6 miles - CLOSED

Nothing for it - head back to Henley -

Esso station closed for refurbishment, Jet station closed

Where the **** do you get petrol then after 21:00

Decided to head for home and conked out 1.5 miles from home - B came out with petrol can (always full/stored in garage) home in 15 mins after conking out

So ....

Fuel light came on at 98 miles
Conked out at 124 miles - so 26 miles then

What made me laugh is how the consumption meter comes on in the display telling you how quickly you're running down your precious reserve
