how many miles do people get to a tank???


Recommended Posts

Tip: If you fill up when its cooler ie: middle of the night during the summer months etc u will get more fuel for your money as the petrol will be less dense' date=' wont be much but every little helps.

I get an overall average of 29MPG on a full tank.

Around town I get anything between 20-25MPG and upto 34MPG on a long run.

I find it's more economical at 85MPH than at 75MPH!

i find that aswell cos the journey takes less time ;):P

sorry but vrs aren't economical at all, get a diesel! on days i've hit 14mpg in heavy stop start traffic, loves the motorways though getting up to 36mpg, i spend £87 a month on petrol, roughly £43 a tank , optimax , a tank will last me a fortnight if i don't boot it!

Not sure how many miles to the tank but was on a steady run the other week doing around 70ish and my MPG went round to 34MPG !!!! I put this down to regular oil changes(Magnatec) and also Greased Lightening engine addative which quientened my engine dramaticly and has given me this sort of MPG. I would definatly recommend it to anyone.

I havent got a clue what i get from a tank, said to myself after buying it that i wouldnt look at the mpg or reset my trip at the pumps as it spoils the car, i didnt buy mine for economy i brought it for fun you will never enjoy it if you worry about the economy too much! Saying that ive got a pic of 41.1 mpg that ill post up and i didnt cheat! :-p

ive never had a full tank coz i cant bare to part with all that money in one go! lol

on the motor i get 28-29 mpg at about 80-90.

i always drive it hard where ever i can usually get 22-24mpg. car has chip, filter, modded TB, exhaust etc.

when i first had the car it was shite bout 14 even on a run.

turned out a number of breathing hoses were blocked or split and hall sensor was fucked.
