"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Re: how many miles to a tank full??
Recently set my own personal best of 510 miles from 53 liters (i.e. 70-odd quid) in my '98 1.9TDi

Re: how many miles to a tank full??
Can't afford a full tank 
Based upon 72 ltrs you will get 792 miles @ 50MPG and 634 miles @ 40MPG.
Oh, and if you can squeeze 72 ltrs in it will cost you £95.16 this week an probably £2,000.00 next week

Re: how many miles to a tank full??
I had about 850 out of a tank before. took about 75 litres to fill it. I reckon i could have got about 900 if i was little more careful.
this was all long distance, running up and down the country thou.

Re: how many miles to a tank full??
Think the most I've fit in a D8 is about 77 litres and I was utterly panicking about running it dry before getting to the pump
Best I've managed is about 450 miles in my V6 due to a lack of motorway miles (theoretically on a long run I should be able to knock 600), but I've had well over 700 in the 2.0 turbo at times. Both petrol engines
Only getting 19mpg at best going to work now though

Re: how many miles to a tank full??
Well I have just gone past the half way mark on my D9 HDi 90 GLX and have covered 565 miles and that is all urban travel to work 
Reckon I get 49mpg all in since I have had it.

Re: how many miles to a tank full??
I used to get about 550 to 600 on half a tank. the first half of the tank seems to be bigger than the second!
85 litres?!?! the 406 tank is 70 + a few litres in the filler neck. if you have 85 you must have some special weird tank!

Re: how many miles to a tank full??
I'm getting about 500 regularly which is about 33mpg. Not that bad for a petrol on combined cycle. I always fill up then drive 'till empty, a tankfull lasts me about a fortnight. 69 litles of unleaded cost me £82.05 today 
Won't be long 'till the £100 fill up

Re: how many miles to a tank full??
I get about 450 miles out of a full tank on commuting and short runs. 70 litres is about a full tank. Mines a petrol btw. I don't drive like a grandpa either.

Re: how many miles to a tank full??
Not sure what I get but much less than everyone else; my average speed is below 25 mph (bluddy roadworks, today I heard the ones in town here will be there 'til Autumn so maybe there's a chance they'll get to the bits that actually need repairing )

Re: how many miles to a tank full??
The fuel gauge definately drops on the rapid when you've gone past half and near the quarter mark.
I think the "botom half" of the gauge relates to about 6 gallons and the "top half" about 9 gallons.
