I get 430mls out a tank before the light comes on lol. Does it every time I make the trip down.
In the process if painting the front grille chrome surround 
pics will be up once it's all done

I get 300 - 340miles per tank mixed driving. This is neither hypermiling nor ragging it, but I would imagine that over 400 would be faily easy on a long motorway trip. 35-38mpg at 70mph constant would allow for 416 with about a gallon of fuel left over. Given that much of the motorway network is now enforced 50mph zones, it would be likely to be nearer 40mpg, which would give about 438miles to a tank with a gallon spare.
Well that's me finished painting the chrome on the front grille I found it pretty easy to remove the chrome from the grille itself but I've seen people on here say how hard it is. It's easy with the right tools
Chrome off.
First coat.
Finished result.
How it looks on the car.
I also painted the black trim that the number plate attaches to as it was covered in stone chips!
I know many of you won't like the all black look of the grille, I like it at the moment but we will see....so the "S" badge is only wrapped so I can change it back to chrome if it starts to annoy me lol

Well today I received my Cupra wheels which I bought from Markrich a member on here and fitted them to my wife's mk2 FR cr170
We think it looks great, now I need to sell her old 17" wheels.
Here's a couple of pics

Sat at a constant speed on the motorway they do return very impressive figures, all things considered.
Sat at 75mph on the cruise control with the odd blast to 85-90 to pass long lines of slower traffic. I took it to silly speeds for a few mins booting it off the M6 tolls both ways tho lol.
I used to be interested in MPG when i had my HDi, now with the Cupra i try not to bother myself with it.
1. Its only money
2. Petrol wont run out before im pushing up daisies
3. I have more fun between fill ups
4. Lifes too short

I've never been interested in it, it's dull as **** but they can be surprisingly frugal on a long motorway run, which is the only real time imo you are likely to notice decent figures.
it's a PD170, what do you expect
I know they aren't mega economical but was really surprised at the miles from a 380bhp Cupra.
Saying that I haven't been on such a long run as ecks in mine. I would be interested to see what it would return though.
