On the hdi 110s what is the normal range of the 70 litre tank i seem to get around 600 miles and i think thats about 40mpgish thats lots of short trips and uneconomical driving, does many people get over 50mpg

mine is a 110 estate executive i haven't put a full tank to test but i went to Leeds about 3 months ago after putting £40 which equated to 35 ltrs and back without topping any fuel on my way back.i encountered numerous roadworks along the way from Slough where i live from M25 , M1 with speed restrictions of 50mph and not forgetting a stretch of about 20 miles from Nottingham to Sheffield where the speed limit was restricted to 50.my total journey was 420miles and by the time i arrived back it was showing i had another 75 miles on the computer to go b4 i would fill it up.on the computer on both journeys was showing 57.7MPG and i did set my cruise control to 80mph.

I got 790 going down to Cornwall and back and driving around. I do drive slowly though...and the trip shows 53mpg most times.

with my uneconomical driving at the moment im getting low 40s/high 30s and the tanks put the light on at 550 miles

cf. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12129#p107334

got 811 miles to a full tank averaged about 56 mpg cruising an 65 mph all way from barnsley to lands end and back an a bit of knocking about

Hi,
I have had the car for about 2 weeks now but have done a few miles.
The first bit of fuel/trips I was getting 63mpg and a range of 1150miles or so.
I brimmed the tank and have done some runs to work and also some school runs. Car is doing 54.3mpg at the moment - has done 710miles so far and range left of 250miles. I am very impressed with the car and all for £800 or £300 if you knock off what I got for my knackered old 405!
Kind regards,
Ed

I go to Belgium 1 or 2 times a month, fill up before I go and top up when I get there, and always average around 52-55 mpg, and I don't hang about, and get mid to low 40's when I am travelling around town.

the town drivings the killer of economy

I went to scotland last year and filled mine up to the brim and managed just over 800 miles may have been able to go further but it was on the red and didnt want to push it

Most I've managed was 806 miles before I chickened out. Mind you, it took 74 litres to fill the tank up to the brim!

On average, I manage around 700 miles before the light comes on.

Well, I've put 78 litres in mine, (after about 20 miles when the indcated range was '---').

Most I've got so far is 725 miles to a tank, but I think it could do 750 - 770 now.

I won't mention the economy of the tubby

Hehe they are awful for that I keep saying you should get a V6! 707 miles to a tank!

(although I'm managing about 290 miles/tank at the moment God I've missed driving it)
