wow 603 to a tank how boring i think as petrol as a mod and thje more i buy the better! i manage to get 200 to a tank!!!! but got around 380 on last fairmile trip in one tank!

 

[mrcoyote]

200 to a tank? I got less than that when I first got my car. Thankfully it's got a bit better now and I'm getting close to 300.

If I managed to get a full 45 litres in mine, I can hope to get close to 500 before it runs out. 600 is no way, as the tank is simply too small and I can't average 70mpg. I'm happy with my 50mpg average though.

 

[gazjones]

petrol is good while it lasts shame im always running out lol

 

[Georgie]

i have had an average of 80.? once before on a trip home.

You must not be paying enough attention to the loud pedal then if you get 80mpg!

Although saying that, I'm driving up to Scotland after the next hants meet, so i'm gonna have to put on my lighter trainers!

IIRC Muddyboots achieved 673 miles out of an Ibiza!!!

although i think someone broke the 700 mark,

Best I've managed so far is 580 miles from a tank. Really boring driving on the motorway at 75. Given up on the "how far can I go idea" - now - drive according to road conditions ( no cars= v quick).

600 miles though is pretty good going.

 

[muddyboots]

Remember that Leons have larger tanks than Ibizas, so as 700 has been achieved in an Ibiza, you Leon drivers have a way to go yet

And determined hard work it was too. Forget who broke 700 but that's going to take some beating.

Thats pretty impressive stuff, but i rather like being able to rev the car over 3,500rpm

She wasnt! I was behind her and doing about 50mph

I just got about 297.8 miles to the tank and i had been to Milton Keynes, driven around REALLY hard before going on the Rolling Road, on the Rolling Road, to a pub after the Rolling Road in Milton Keynes, then to Essex from Milton Keynes, driven around a bit there, then driven back from there and drove it to and from work about four times (this was on Optimax)

Oh and last summer (on Unleaded) i drove back from St Ives in Corwall which is about 280 miles and still had quarter of a tank left which i think is roughly about 70 miles

 

[jenk]

I need a sooty machine! only 220 miles out of a tank for me

 

[CupraTgirl]

I have had petrols ever since i passed my test so its what im used to! It really doesnt bother me that i only get 300 miles or less to a tank as thats what you pay for when getting a faster car, you know?

I do spend loads of money on petrol a month but i just allow for that

Oh and i like having a quiet car

I get about 280 to 320 miles out of mine depends how my right foot is feeling.
Didnt buy mine for fuel ecom though, i guess you did, driving around like miss daisy.
Depends what u want out of a car, id rather be shouting "EAT THAT DIESEL BOY" when im smoking u at the lights, but u can smile knowing u will get there in your own pace doing 600 miles plus with no stops.

 

[CupraTgirl]

bushybeaver - I didnt buy mine to try and save money on fuel to be honest

 

[bushybeaver]

Never said u did hun!!!

 

[CupraTgirl]
