how much to fill up a 172?

[Sparky1983]

As title really, my dci used to return me 8p per mile but now with rising fuel prices its more like 10-11p per mile
As full tank from the red light in the DCI is £72!!!!!

How much to fill up a 172 from the red light? using standard petrol...

 

[Laura]

£54 i think last time i filled uo from the red light

 

[koi]

mine has always been just under £50, dread the day when it gets any higher!

Thanx Laura and from that you get say 300miles?

 

[jester2k]

nah.. more than that.. i put £48 in and got 350 and no light on, but was driving sensibly with 30 miles of my 50 miles round trip a day on the m-way at 70.. with a couple of blasts.

 

[Timmay]

petrol light on if i put 15 quid in a dont even get a 1/4 tank!

 

[rory182]

mk2 clios all have 50litre tanks iirc

 

[Laura]

i get about 280 miles to a full tank, but my trip to work is windy country lanes so makes sense

 

[Ronnie R]

£45-£50....i get around 270 miles...

 

[*Badger*]

Red light to Brim is about £52 (£1.15 per litre) and will see me 340 miles.

 

[Sparky1983]

Thanks a lot everyone, tryin to decide whether i might go the way of the petrol again since rising diesel prices are eroding my gains

 

[Fletcher]

£50 for 95 ron.

 

[Black-Clio-1.4]

I get around £55 in, and get around 470miles!

 

[Cupster]

48 squids for me

 

[Ian_182]

My focus costs 60 quid to fill and gets me 500+ miles.

TDI's still make sense for journeys even though the fun is removed

A 172 willl never be as economical as a DCI. Unless you're caining the DCI everywhere and driving the 172 using 30hp. But then what would be the point in that when you could drive the DCI like a slow coach and get best part of a 1000 miles to a tank?

 

[Leigh_X172]

£41.64 from 50 miles left

 

[Lee172_cup]

£57 for Tesco 99ron. Does 350 miles a tank usually. 36.1 mpg over the last 1000 miles cos I've mostly been driving like a grandma!!! Ha ha

Just remap the dci, then it will have 130bhp and be more economical, would make sense to me. I'd have a dci 100 but they are extremely rare and they all seem to have high mileage.

 

[chrisj]

Mine costs £51 odd.get bout 320 miles outta it.some motorway and some round town.not too bad i think

Mine is remapped, done 74k, just crave that bit extraaaa

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

11gallons (50 litres) with V-Power at £1.19 a litre is £59.50 there abouts, standard unleaded at say £1.13 is £56.50

I think i get about 310 miles to a tank with a whole mixture of driving, theres no point in driving like a nun if i wanted to do that i have bought a non performance car
