heartagram Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I think the most interesting thing is how it tells you how much you spend a year. Obviously its a rough guide, but it shows you how much of a saving you can make over a year with a bit of thoughtful driving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thoughtful driving does make a huge difference, i just can't put up with it for long! I never last a tank with driving slowly My cars MPG is all over the place recently, sometimes it does great but recently its been really poor. I usually never get less than 200/210 miles from the first half of the tank, recently im lucky to get 170 miles from the same amount. Something is amiss with it somewhere, usually it works out to 50MPG over the tank, not great when you think the difference in the price of diesel and petrol at the pumps. Its roughly the same as a petrol doing 40MPG. So ive just given up trying for economy for the moment, its pointless. I want a sporty petrol car now ... although ill probably change my mind.

Philplop Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) 34 litres.You can fit more in if you use The Secret Button in the filler neck and fill the expansion tank though. Edited July 24, 2008 by Philplop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobG Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 36 litres.You can fit more in if you use The Secret Button in the filler neck and fill the expansion tank though.But that's probably not the best idea in the world right now, with the sunny weather and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
