There's an interesting AIB report from years ago about a DC10 from a US airline that ended up calling a Mayday for fuel at Manchester. Long train of reasons why and the crew were praised for their corrrect handling of the situation. But the interesting point was the AIB analysis that said ATC were already running things so efficiently that he only gained 1 minute by being given priority! So don't expect miracles...
