Heh, still got you beat on that with the Olds :)

Just checked up on the fuel mileage for the last tank - £60 took her 135miles, all of them slow town driving or country roads aside from a 10mile dual carriageway run....and I wasn't exactly in 'economy cruise mode' for that stretch of DC.....

***edit***

Oh, and the cost to actually fill the tank? Tank is ~83 litres (22 US gallons). The petrol station I usually go to (Belvedere Shell in Burton) was charging 92.9p/litre last time I went there (with the Fiat, thank God!). "Expensive" doesn't do it justice.....If I start using her regularly I'm getting a conversion to LPG done.

You have made me feel better :D
 
500 Miles on a Full tank £50ish worth of fuel if I'm careful.

If I rag it and do lots of urban driving it goes down to around 375.

1.8 Zetec Mondeo
 
Ive got a Fiat Cinquecento, so £30 fills my car ne way :P, on a .900 engine, so someone do the maths for me :(
 
For the next week or so untill my Getz getz replaced (please excuse the pun) I can do ~600 miles on £50.

Next week it'll be around 300 miles in the Coupe :D
 
How many miles should i get out of a full tank in a saxo VTR driven normally (40)

Not on the limiter just enough to accelerate at a respectable pace, mostly around town tho. :rolleyes:

Having just got the car i have yet to measure it.
 
My mondeo st used to give me 280-300 a tank, mind after service that went up to 330.

I had a 307 hire car, 1.6 hdi, and driving it uber carefully a £53 tank gave me 570, 600 miles to £50 is achievable if you drive like a true old bloke, but you will be hated as much as man u and chelsea fans tho! i did manage to get 67.2mpg over a 40 mile distance mixed driving but optimal gear changes and no aircon or other electrics on,and real feather touch throttling!

It would be nice ;)

I'm guessing that's 570-600 :D
