Philplop Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm currently at about 320 miles and have just under a quarter of a tank left.Mega impressed with that. Normally I'm lucky to see 220.That was with a long steady drive back from Northampton after the Treffen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I filled as much as I could in the expansion tank, but the pump stopped me when I got to £35ish for some reason.So only got about 30 litres in, the petrol light had been on for a few miles. It was a long steady drive though, did hit a bit of traffic a few times but no stopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I see over 300 every time with the black button, My record is 42 litres from empty in one fill, Which i got 365 miles out of.Although 42 litres is about 55 quid..... and that hurts.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Never got to finish the last tank, put off driving it for 2 weeks and then another really long journey came up so I had to fill it up again!It was a bit under 1/4 of a tank left, and I fitted in £41 of V-Power.That got me 360 miles til the fuel light came on. Hartlepool-Boston, Boston-Peterborough, Peterborough-Boston, Boston-Hartlepool, with a few stop offs as well, so canny impressed with that!That's just sitting at 70 on the motorway and no agressive acceleration.

cardaft Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 123.9 when I filled up on Sunday. Yup, it was when i drove past tonight, its not going down then I thought it was more like the price of diesel, so its still cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepsi Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I just did a round 150 mile trip from Derby to Doncaster and back, got there and back on 1/2 a tank.I normally get 90 miles to half a tank so quite impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
