I filled my Volvo up a few weeks back, £94! However, it's time to fill up again and I've covered 811 miles, so shouldn't grumble, still, I was getting that for a £70 fill up when I bought it!
The Clio I half fill, get around 180-200 miles from just over half a tank (80% motorway miles at no more than 80 mph)
The missus has a newish Hyundai Getz, nearly £50 to fill the bugger up and only gets 250 miles out of it, Auto or not, thats shocking! It's up for sale soon!
My Landy is another story! It's LPG, when I bought it I could brim it for £50, now its over £100 to brim it with gas, I get 300 miles from that! Thats going as well soon!

aye V6 cost £70 4years ago, Ali i'm not rich like you, so i run the tank dry
if a 50L tank is £70, then a 60L isn't going to be £72, scotpish maths fail
Who are you trying to kid! You've more money than god!
The V6 has never ever ever cost me £70 to fill! EVER! You've not run yours in 4yrs, clearly your memory fails you!
And i'm Scottish, therefore every bean & mile counts, i roll into the forecourt on vapour!!
It's stupidly expensive now. Which is why I no longer buy BP ultimate.
I use around £10 of petrol a day to work and back - only 30 miles a day! Works out at about one of the blocks on the gauge a day
18mpg?! You do a lot of town / stop start driving? That'd cripple me as I do about 50miles, luckily I get between 35 and 40mpg though!
You're right there. Wife has a vectra 1.8 vvt which I'm hard pushed to equal the mpg of the clio or vx220 in! It will do but have to be much more careful!
Thats what i'm saying. The Vee has never cost me 70 to fill! Except probably at the ring... It's the same size tank as the Z4 tho, so i would imagine the cost to fill give or take a litre or 2 would be circa 68-72£

you won't get much, 65% of the cost of fuel goes to the government in duty and vat, the cost of the fuel is only 40-45p. retailer gets about 5p

No thanks, I enjoying driving ;-)
Plus wouldn't really fancy taking that on track at weekends!
Bang on, and potentially more for mature assets.
lol, no it wouldn't quite have the same effect!

Tell me about it. Its a f**king joke

Mine averages out somewhere around 37-40mpg. Still manage to get through around £80 worth of petrol a week though
i guarantee its nowhere near that. If your getting 34 id be suprised

i'll measure mine. i know it went from 34 on the computer to 40 on the same journey after the lambda change. actually i won't measure it, it'll only make me sad. i'm happy in the ignorant knowledge that i dont have to chop it in for a diesel.
Fiesta Zetec S TDCi
£80 petrol @ £1.35 per litre = 59 litres
59 litres = 13 gallons
13 gallons x 40 miles = 520 miles
Which is pretty much exactly what I do a week.

I don't do many miles in the clio anymore, and the Fabia vrs is very frugal.
.....However the hilux now costs around £100 to fill from empty! I get the VAT back but

actually, just remembered i've got an obd thingy that gives me, amongst other things, mpg at 1 second intervals along my journey, related to speed, throttle position, etc. whether this is accurate or not i don't know, but i can accurately measure my distance at least, that's gps based
Not many high rollers would own a clio.
As above when its "- - -" its not zero, still about 40 miles left in it, probably more like 50 to be honest. Give it a try and let us know
