Mine is a 2003 TDi Sport. Average around 550 miles to a tank

550... thats good. Just done 146 on quater of a tank, thats with some heavy right foot action, and town driving.

Guess usual mileage is around 450/500 a tank...

i usually get about 430 to a tank but got 530 on a recent trip down to alton towers

yeh some heavy foot as well as about 45mins of traffic jam on the m25 plus town driving

i usually do about 450 to a tank....this is a mixture of short and long journeys...longer journeys you can expect up in the 500's....

i find when i fill my tank right up...it takes ages to come off full...usually about 125-150 miles then it drops very quickly hahaha!

I get between 380 and 430 - It really does depend on how i'm driving it.

I do tend to blat down B roads more than motorway cruising so not too suprised it is lower than most other people.

on my run to scotland and back i get around 650miles to a tank

 

[Keef83]

Mine is typically 400 miles can push to 450 driving tends to be average 40 mile journey's about half moterway and half a/b roads.

 

[GlanzaV]

I get about 100mi before the needle even moves... but usually only get about 400mi before filling up (when the light buzzes)

 

[NickyJam]

yer...town driving you should get roughly 360-400

Nobody has mentioned if they're venting the tank when they fill or not - this makes a big difference to the potential range.

If you read that and thought "What's venting?" - a search will reveal all

I have a 1.9 Tdi Sportrider and I can 450/460miles out of my tank

 

[muddyboots]

Poor effort, the record is over 700

Venting is the way to go. Takes a bit longer to fill up and it a bit fiddly, but worth it. I can get 700 miles out of one tank if driven easily, but have no problem getting 650 miles at other times. I use Millers Power Sport Diesel 4 as well.

From memory, I've put in about 63 litres in one go.

I duno how much mines works out at per tank but £20 normally sees me 180miles
On my trip down to Inters (approx 85 all the way) it managed 225miles off £20
