most of the time my car only has 20/30 pounds of fuel in and i have never worked out how much it does to the gallon because i need the car so the fuels got to go in but a few weeks ago we had some tesco vouchers that gave us 15p a liter off so decided to fill it up well it cost me about 90 odd quid and i got about a tenner off so a decent saving.i did one long journey [round trip of about250 miles] and the rest is just normal running about now the gauge is about in the same place so i will have to but some in but its done about
****
now place your bets,dont no if i should be pleased or not.

585

I clearly drive mine too hard... See: http://www.fuelly.com/driver/calamityjames/406 lol

(I'm lucky to get 550 miles to a tank!)

515 miles and not a yard more!

I was thinking 601 initially, but sounds like i'm way off the mark

I usually get 670 - 700 miles to a tankful, but that's mostly main road / motorway stuff

Working on the consumption in my 1.9 from full to red light with a nice 250 mile motorway drive thrown in I'd expect to be in the high 400's, maybe just tipping over into the 500's if I hadn't been too silly with the loud pedal. A 2.1 will be a little bit more thirsty so I'll go with 490 ?

The most I've done in my 2.1 was 675 miles before the light came on. I am guessing it could get to 700 miles before it ran out completely.

and the winning number is

637

dont know if thats good or bad but seams okay

Does that make me the winner with only being 36 out

see parts thread for your prize.

I usually manage 750-800 miles to a tank, around 50 mpg as stated in the sig. But I'm a very fuel conscious driver 90% of the time. The rest 10% is fun.

Yeah definitely. I guess it's almost impossible to get more than 650 from a TD?

I rarely get better than 700.
I suspect my 90% & 10% are the other way round.
