Well mines a TDi.. so I'm cheating a bit... lol
But someone said thay they got 59 outta CTR before.. he said it was mainly motorways with at a steady speed and big distances between cars so he didn't brake & speed up as much...
He also did a track the same day... so I'm not too sure he's got his figures right on that..

He said 70 & 40's cause of road works...
I honestly can't believe you can get that mpg outta a CTR
I agree with what TimD was saying. I'm not bothered about mpg, i'll fill my car when it needs it. I had a 1.9TDi before i bought it and my mpg was great, i knew it would be a lot different when i changed

Yeah im the same it really doesnt bother me, its only recently when someone pointed it out that i looked at it and i look now but it doesnt bother me if i dont go more than 34MPG
Hell, i got 5MPG the other day! Was doing a test

Ha ha! Yeah but there is two Shell garages near me and when i went to both once, one was 101.9 for Optimax and one was 103.9 for Optimax and they are only about six miles apart

Its difficut to say as it depends on what type of petrol your getting, how your driving it and if its short or long journeys
I normally fill up with Optimax at the moment and can squeeze £42 in there and probably get about 270 miles but it really depends how i drive her! I can normally do about 70 miles before the needle starts moving if i go straight on the motorway after filling up but if i drive hard or do LOADS of short journeys then it moves before that
I try not to focus on it all too much
I'd love to fill my car up with Optimax, but the nearest Shell garage is 30 miles from me. Tesco is nearer so i use their 99 Ron stuff

I don't notice any difference between, Tesco's, Optimax or Ulitmate.. But if I put Sainsbury's high ron in my CTR it's so much nipper... than with any of the others...
as i said i usually get around 300miles to a tank, i do alot of motorway miles though keeping around 80mph
