I get between 250 and 350 from the LCR, depending on how heavy my right foot is feeling.

I've never driven like a saint for a whole tank full, but when I do, the trip comp tells me I'm getting 35mpg.

My daily run consists of half motorway, half country roads. It all sort of evens out to an average of about 28-30mpg usually.

I found it also depends on the fuel. I get best fuel economy from Optimax, and best performance (win-win, chuffin' expensive habit though!)
 
Not had it long enough to give a accurate picture, but my first tank went in about 200-250 miles.... trying to peedle about on this tank, done 90 miles and the gauge aint moved yet.... good start, its all downhill from here !!

I get 200 everytime, which works out at 34mpg ... gotta love that 30 litre tank!! And I rag it ALL the time..
good lad thats what i like to see,f**k fuel economy have some fun and upset as many people as you can......................:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: heres to an asbo:lol:
 
I have a mark 4 Ibiza, its done 23.5K miles, I just got right down to nearly empty, and got 302 miles out of it.

That was from 47.17 litres @ 88.9p/litre, woks out to be 29mpg! Seems a bit low to me. I would say about 70% was normal driving for me aswell.
 
I find when driving on the motorway in 6th doing no more than 70mph you can average around 35mpg. Ive turned really sad, I constantly look at the petrol gauge hoping it doesnt move.
 
Like the other smokers I return around 500 miles to a tank. I try to be sensible but then a sweeping road comes along and hey presto - my right foot gets a tad heavy.
 
All these figures seem low compared to the book combined economy of 33 for my 20VT - OK - discount a bit for revo, but it was still rubbish on fuel before it. Hence the decision:

Leon - fun car
Fabia VRS - sensible works car - (60.9 mpg av this tank - thats nearly 3 x the economy of the leon :))

Not a full tank, but I got 260 out of £40 (Optimax @ 92.9p) this week, mix of motorway and town driving.....
That was good i get around 200 miles to a tank :lol: bit heavy footed and mostly town driving
 
Computer reckons 280 on a full tank, 05 LCR. I regularly do a 220mile North-south run and the fuel warning beeps before I reach my destination. IMO, paying extra for 98 pays for itself in fuel economy.
 
I get about 350 out of a full tank out of my 2001 Leon Cupra T - I don't particularly rag it, and until it's warmed up I try to avoid the turbo kicking in. Maybe I'm just too sad!

Update: I have done 272 miles and the gauge is showing just under half way.

I've been driving Miss Daisy mind..!!

you watch how quick the second half goes:D

oh and i have just over half a tank left and 279 miles done so far on a 45 ltr tank. Could break the 500 barrier, i know a couple of the tdi sport ibiza guys got something like 700 from a tank.
