How many miles ?

[Andi]

How many miles can i expect from a full tank in a Leon Cupra R ?

And how many litres does the tank hold ?

Many Thanks.

around 50-52 litres as the warning light comes on.

i know its obvious, but depends how you drive it!

anything from 240 to 390....

i think around 280 is a fair average usuage.but its easy to get over 300.

Thank you. i have 360 mile trip to make back home on tuesday after picking my new cupra R up was hoping to make it on a tank ?

It is possible to get 360miles on a motorway journey! My record is 420miles on 1 tank.

Fuel tank holds 55 litres. Depending on how much youve drained it, it is possible to get 58-59 litres back in! Warning light comes on and youve got about 40-50 miles.

Normal usage is about 300 miles per tank even when remapped.

Thanks Mitchy. Will keep you posted on fueel result when i do the jurney.

Does the cupra R have a fuel computer on it ? for mpg and est miles remaining etc.

Thanks

There is a trip computer that supplies mpg, average mpg and number of miles to fill up!

i drove mine up from portsmouth to fife, around 450 miles i think and i stopped once at gretna to fill the tank back up, and it was still showing just under half a tank, that was me doing mostly 70-80mph in daylight and 90-120 in the cover of darkness.

im my cupra (not an R) with mainly short journeys (5-10miles at a time) and the odd longer journey, i am getting about 300miles to a tank on average. i would say the R is around the same. sounds about the same from the above info anyways

Summat wrong with mine... i am getting nowhere near that sort of consumption.

What things would affect fuel consumption that badly??
EGR valve was the cause on my 1.6, but not sure if it is likely to be the same on my Cupra? Feels OK power wise though...

550 to a tank and 3/4 on the way to germany todayis that bad or good as im quiet worried

Remapped: I'm lucky if I manage more than 230 miles before the warning light comes on. At 400miles / week it's a very regular occurrence.
