Standard LCR 225:

Fuel: Shell V-Power
Average MPG: 27Mpg
Average Tank Full: 310 miles.

Can vary from tank to tank and with driving style.

Last week I spent £53.00 on fuel to bring it to the brim and did 294 miles since I last filled it. So that equates to: 18p per mile and consisted mainly of motorway miles (and traffic jams)

Not reset my trip meter since i bout the car, 19th Feb 2007, Done about 6000 miles i know!
And i've averaged 21.8mpg Ouch!

mine's about the same. MPG may be a bit lower, as i mainly do short drives (approx 20 miles a day) and rag it a bit more than i should

Used it since the day I got it. Higher octane rating than V-Power, and it's cheaper.

The clinch for me was when a fella posted a thread about their preferential fuel and Tesco99 came out on top in some heavy research conducted by a peformance tuner.

In tests with 350z's and I think something like a 200SX S15 the Tesco99 provided a higher BHP stroke on the dyno. Can't remember the precise specifics, but Tesco must be doing something right :S

Right everybody.... BIG THANKS to everybody who posted information on this thread and managed to refrain from turning it into a chat thread!

Can a couple of modified Leon Cupra/FR petrol owners please give their details? Currently I've only got two people and obviously the more info I get, the more meaningful it is.

I'll run with what I have for now, but will change the modified LC figure if more people contribute.

Please note: I'm not re-counting any of the other models and engines. Feel free to post your details, but they wont be included in the final figure.

Thanks again everyone

[FLK]

54 plate Leon Cupra 1.8T - remapped

MPG: 29
Range: 280 - 300 miles
Fuel: Optimax

I had this car last year (and since gone) so my memory is a bit flakey to say the least but I think this is what I remember it getting at best on a 200bhp+ remap.

Edit: corrected MPG
