if i stick £15 in mine from empty it shows a 1/4 tank.

it also shows a 1/4 tank if i shove up to £35 in

My reckoning gives me an average just under 34mpg worked mine out at 28 miles per gallon. travels 450 miles per tank, but the tank is £90 to fill, and i really can't see mine having a bigger tan...
