How far does your tank get you?

The fuel gauge is a bit unreliable, so I just run to 600 then fill up now.

Used to do 700 quite regularly, and my record is about 950.

when i drive in the manner you expect a 19 year old to drive the car the worst was 520 miles. When i drive it a bit more sensibly i just cant completley restrain myself i got 704 miles.
But now ive removed that scourge on emissions the EGR so hopefully the next fill show the effect that has had, im expecting more miles.

Yes its true. Would have got more but there was a lot of stop start business on the m25. If i were to drive "normally" it will drink a tank of fuel in less than 300 miles though. Im a lorry driver so it wasnt too hard to sit behind trucks for 600 miles lol!

i havnt a clue and dont care
cant afford to fill the tank and cant afford to change the car so it does what it does.

Don't worry omega, now that we've got 'call me Dave' & the Big Society, someone's bound to voluteer to fill it for you.
