How far on a Full Tank?

[MistaT]

Never got under 360 miles to a tank(refilling takes 45 litres too) so 36mpg measured. Hover around 37-40mpg usually, i can't understand how people can get much below 35, must just not know how to drive or have something wrong with their cars!

 

[will6]

My best so far is 392 miles on a full tank which was 55L, but was only around town so not too bad compared to some other car's

 

[.Simon]

I get around 500 miles for a £35 fill up in my Zetec-S TDCi, that'll soon change though when I pick up a 182!!

 

[Martin_172]

250 odd miles in the 172
add a 0 onto the end of that for the dci lol

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

The most ive had from my Phase 1 was 367 miles to a full tank of V-power.

Glasgow to Newcastle and back with driving around newcastle aswell.

According to the trip it was ranging between 43-46mpg which is about right if you consider its an 11gallon/50l tank

 

[ash197]

you will get about 30 on the light driving sensibly, knock it to 25 -20miles if your putting your foot down.

Lol, if i put my foot down and give it stick for the last quarter i can get as bad as 40 miles!! :S

Driving nice in my 197 can get 350 to a tank, driving not so nice prob about 250 and a motorway trip to alton towers saw 400miles!!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Always at least 300, getting about 330-350ish now

 

[Jonny1*2]

370miles to fuel light. 420miles best. Motorway driving though.

+1, exactly the same!

370miles to fuel light. 420miles best. Motorway driving though.

Thats really good mines majority motorway miles with a bit of around town and thats 360-380 in my 182 (including the petrol light)

 

[Dafthead]

About 280 out of £53-55

 

[kevo66]

360mile in mine!

 

[Shorty_Irl]

Best Ive ever seen from my Mk3 1.4 was 620 kilometers to a full tank. That was mostly motorway driving with some spirited foot down action and town driving thrown into the mix. That works out to 385 miles. On average with mostly city driving I will get about 520kms or 323 miles to a tank, and Im not exactly gentle with the car

 

[Marty]

I normally get 290-300 miles per tank in my 182 cup. Have never managed to get in more than 35 quid though! Average about 36mpg

 

[spomonie]

The most I get is around the 500 mark on a tank of 35 quid.

 

[Golgarth]

I aim for 60 miles to a tenner as a rule, where I get 100 to a tenner in the diesel

 

[nick.]

between 350 - 400 miles about 39 mpg

 

[Timmay]

310 and im happy to reach that

driving in rush hour traffic perhasp?

 

[Vish]

I ran out after 314 miles. Luckily I was on the forecourt waiting to fill up so managed to push it to the pump. It took about 48L to fill up fully after that.

Usually fill up after 300ish miles when the lights on and its normally about 42-45L to fill up max.

I drive with a heavy right foot most of the time, only keep it sensible if I'm stuck behind someone, so I'm pretty happy with the mpg. A big reason I don't want to change cars yet especially with petrol 99.9p again!

Either that or they actually drive their car !
Ohhhh the thought of it .........scarey

 

[Dink]

i get about 210 miles out of the polo before the light comes on but it has only got a 45l tank

Ive put more than 48l in when theres been fuel left in the tank :s should be a 50l tank mate Vish?

Mine gets about 300 for a 60l tank, mixed driving and a few blats.

 

[Lagerlout]

Had just over 400 miles from a tank on a run to Newcastle and back.

 

[Jonff]

Managed to get 350 miles yesterday out of a full tank yesterday, would have probably got more if it hadn't have been for the stop start traffic on the M5 and M6 for 80 miles .

That was a mixture of driving like a tart there and giving it a good blast on the way back till I hit traffic.

 

[jonny_g]

660 on my dci with about 70% being motorway driving and there was still just a bit under a 1/4 left on the guage. altho i was probably driving like a vicar

Well I definitely had nothing left in the tank lol

I'll have to check how much I put in, am pretty sure it wasn't 50+ so may have been something like 49.8 or 49.9.

 

[Steve 182]

Lol, on a good drive my 182 gets 290 - 300 on a full tank. And that giving it some stick a bit.

I have ragged it my whole tank this time and getting just over 200

Think mine is the same as that...

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

hmmm

 

[motorola222]

370 in my MK2 PH2 172FF full tank i find shell optimax makes a whole lot of difference.

 

[Xundi]

400 miles at around 38.6 mpg

 

[vdust182]

Not far enough i say!! Petrol going up more as well, think i might cry

 

[Goders172]

get about 260 to 280 miles i guess

 

[Se7en172]

320 everytime, clock usually shows 34-35mpg when it's time to re-fill. I have had 370-380 on long motorway runs

 

[*Badger*]

Normally, 290-310 which is around 28/29mpg.
However, on this weekends long run have just got 350-360 which is 36/37mpg.

 

[Ralphizzle]

This sunday got like 350 miles... with some serious motoring now and then.
Mainly motorway!

 

[Scunny_182]

Always at least 300, getting about 330-350ish now

between 350 - 400 miles about 39 mpg

how are ppl in 182s getting this many miles on a tank! had my car just over a week n petrol light came on today n i only just it 280! and thats with putting an extra £7 in, so about 56 litres got me 280 miles! that cant b right? headly been "driving it" either. worked it out n its about 22.5 mpg! how are people getting 30+!!??

its had a ktec exhuast n decat, would a cat make a differance?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Economical driving doesnt mean driving slowly. Looking ahead so you don't have to brake as much etc. I can still have a regular play for a bit, and still easily get 300+ miles.

The lowest I've ever got is about 20ish, and that was on track!

 

[Brett]

Usually around 300 on my normal driving. I've had 44mpg regularly on motorway trips so that would give a range of 400 miles from full to red light. 440 if ran untill empty.

 

[kev182cup]

Ha how are people getting so much i get about 200 off a full tank. If I stick 20 quid in about 100 miles. Computer normally says 27 mpg.
