Cupra 280 average miles per tank
- Thread starter b8er1234
- Start date
About 300 before the display tells me I need to fill up usually. Journey to work is 50/50 back roads and dual carriageway. Journey home is all dual carriageway and motorway.
Crawling in traffic with lots of start stop seems to completely screw it though. Last tank the light came on at 250 miles having spent a lot more time than I'd like sitting in traffic!

I get around 300-330. I don't wring its neck all the time and also don't waft along either. That's mainly B roads and some town driving, next to no stop-start traffic.
Average MPG over 12.5k miles is 30.8 using the GasTracker app.

How much to fill the tank approx? How big is the tank?
Interested as I've been considering an ST Cupra to replace a 2.2 TDCi Mondeo, but I know I'll take an MPG hit, just need to know how much. I get 600 - 650 miles to an £85 tank (70 litres) of diesel at the moment.

The tank is only 50 liters - from my perspective the limited range due to the size of the tank is one of the only weak points of the Cupra.
Stop&go traffic absolutely destroys the average of a tank - more so than the occasional spirited driving sessions. So does cold temperatures - during the summer I averaged app 10 l/100 km. After the temperature dropped to around zero degrees I am averaging app 11 l/100 km.

My 2 miles commute I will hit about 260 - 280 miles. The drive to cornwall or into Europe I can do nearly 380 - 400miles. My wifes 1.2 can do nearly 480 miles on a tank so im happy with that.
Cold weather is detroying my MPG
. Filling it with Shell V power makes a noticable difference to the Miles per tank.

Thats strange, my economy hasnt changed between summer and winter. Never heard of a petrol doing that, diesel certainly but not petrol. Be interesting to see if others are having reduced economy.
I've just filled up tonight with V Power and it was £57 for 283 miles to fill the tank, so you'll be looking at around £120 for 600 miles.

I can get 250 to 300 to a tank with a good mix of driving before it tells me to fill up. Happy with that with the performance it offers
Probably 340-360 miles per tank. It would be less, but I just don't get the opportunities these days!
I think it's mainly because of all the electrical systems that get used more in the winter, like the heater, lights and rear demist etc. Combine that with a slightly colder than ideal engine operating temp and you'll definitely be getting a bit less MPG.
Also cold air is denser than warm air, and the intercooling will also be more efficient as well. Both of those things mean more power compared to a summers day, but at the cost of needing more fuel to match.
