For all you diesel owners!!

[hoggy90]

OK, dont know if im the only sad person thats done this lol but on saturday night i put 10 pounds worth of bp ultimate in my car...at around 117p per litre....once i put it in i reset my fuel guage meter thing....so i ran my car from the very first line on the fuel guage, put diesel in...and ive ran it until today when the guage has returned to its original starting position,give or take a few ml's.....and the result= 132.4miles

i was just wondering if this was good or bad on a 1.9tdi leon 110 version... lets hear your results aswell guys

117p thats soo cheap diesel where i live is 120p just for normal grade i think the ultimate is like 126p. thats shocking

It's costing me about £55 - £60 a tank to fill up at the minute

and I usually get around 500 - 550 miles out of it.

The miles you got from your £10 sounds pretty good though!

 

[beeko85]

dont go rubbin it in. around 65 to fill my tank on bp ultimate superunleaded, and max about 350miles per tank!

 

[MJ]

its 113p for shell diesel extra or 118 for v-power near me!

113!?!?!?!?

I can't believe that 113p a litre sounds cheap these days.

Cheap round by me 116p, but most places are 119p

cant remember how much it was in pence per ltr , cant even remember how much it cost me lol must pay more attention !!!!
but 2weeks ago i brimmed it by venting , ,

and got to blackpool with just over 3 1/4'ers of a tank left , ran around allweek , then booted all way home , got 580 miles out of the tank i would have got quite abit more but was in a hurry to get home ....

I never understand some members sometimes, I once created one which had over 1000 views and only like 2 replies!

Out of interest is the fuel gauge linked to the ECU and calculates your driving style or something???

Because when I boot it the gauge drops... but then a few mins later I'll be cruising on the motorway and it will go back up

Im getting 40-50 mpg depending on where and how i drive..

Think last time i filled was 117.9p, 39 litres to fill the tank to the click.

Oh, car is Cupra tdi with stage one p-torque map. 202bhp

Oh, and should say its an Ibiza

 

[George Grayson]

Last fill up i used bp ultimate diesel,it cost me £66 to fill and i got about 500 miles with a mixture of motorway and road driving.Most of the driving was quite spirited though as i have only just bought the car, 58 leon FR Tdi,a bit more torque to play with than a 1.6 focus

 

[Muttley]

That's about 70 mpg, which is astonishingly good. But that's less than two gallons. so any small differences in the remaining fuel level will make a significant difference.

To get a good figure for your real fuel consumption, always fill the tank to the same level (say, until the pump cutoff cuts in) and log the mileometer reading and the fuel quantity.

£73 fill up on Monday @ 117.p/litre

Managed 600miles out of that tank though

Whoa, big tank! 70 litres... wish the ibiza came with that!

 

[Gordz]

That is a big tank!

Think the Leon mk1 is 50 litres isn't it??

Can't remember what my mk3 ibiza was, 40 maybe?

 

[hoggy90]

yip leons a fifty litre tank not sure on the beeza though, think it could be 50aswell if im honest

Just gave my brother a text who has a mk3 ibiza and he reckons it's 45 litre the ibiza.

Not that it really matters, lol.

 

[sssstew]

Ibizas are 45l tanks.

Like Muttley says, the best way to calculate mpg is brim to brim measurements.

 

[andyj]

Yeah, the Exeo is a 70L, mainly due to it being a commuter 'barge'

I'm not complaining though, means I'm only filling up about once every 2/3weeks, all be it at about £70 a pop !!!
