How many miles do you get for approx £50

SiHH · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:49

With my Alfa 156 I am getting about 340 miles from a full tank

which is costing me £55..

These are urban miles too - not much motorway driving involved.

(Anyone wanna buy my Alfa ?)

Liverpool-Lad · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:50

for 55 litres of fuel, 385 miles (all around town)

merlin · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:51

About 320 ish, on average.

Confused · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:51

50 litres of fuel = 320 miles

Firestar_3x · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:51

I get about 300 miles form £40 all depends how i drive, i've had just over 100 miles from £40 before!

chino · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:53

About 500-550ish, economic Polo for the win.

Edit: I wouldn't worry too much, you could be getting much worse. The car I'm considering will probably do the same as you for £70 :eek:

Hehe... indeed, there aren't many things it wins at, I have to take them when I can. Hopefully being replaced by a faster car soon

kaiowas · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:56

I'd guestimate somewhere just over 400. Only got a relatively small tank though so I fill up at about 250

Rotty · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:56

about 260

Gilly · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:57

No thanks, Alfas suck.

I get around 450 miles to a tank. Thats about £45.

I don't feel quite so bad..lol

Kona* · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:57

Can I be *really* smug here and mention that I got 721miles before the light came on last week

From the light coming on it costs about £52-56 to fill the tank, it's an Audi A4 1.9 TDi.

Nozzer · 15 Jun 2006 at 11:58

On motorways, 500ish in the Audi.

I did London to Fife, via Birmingham and back (950 miles) on about £90 of fuel.

edit: The Lotus never has more than 25L in it, weight reduction don't you know.

toxic · 15 Jun 2006 at 12:00

500 fo 50...Audi A3 2.0 TDI S-Line (driving sensibly)

the problem is I do 600 miles a weel

Townlea · 15 Jun 2006 at 12:01

750 for me :rolleyes:

Mondeo ST220

Gotta love 38p per litre !

paradigm · 15 Jun 2006 at 12:03

I'd kill for most of the figures in this thread

If I drive how I like to drive (which isn't balls out acceleration, red-lining everywhere), I get around 250 Miles from £55

If I drive how you would expect an 80 year old woman to drive, average 65 on the motorway, I can get a whopping 380~ miles from the tank.

\o/ for turbo goodness \o/
