Defcon5 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Using the secret button I can get over 300 plodding to work and back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Quite a few threads on this.I get between 180 and 230 ish usually until the light comes on. Have had well over 300 miles from a tank before though. Think it was about 350 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I've got 250... If I was worried about MPG's, I would have a TDI.Can we have a thread on how many miles once the light comes on?? Has that been covered before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucknall28 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 i think iv got 250 miles to a tank once but that was motorway miles and now i only get about 200 if im lucky, but i do have a bit of a lead foot so im told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafcross Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 180 ragging round town, 230ish if I'm driving sensibly, near 300 on motorway at 65mph.Depending on how you're driving you can usually get around 30 miles from when the light comes on to empty...

bossjohnc Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Over 400 miles using the secret button. I usually use it anyway, and never see under 250 - usually closer to 300 with a fair bit of motorway driving.The 400+ was a bit of a challenge tbf, and there's no way I'd get that normally.If you're not using the button, around 180 to 220 to a tank is right.

Defcon5 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Was the 400 on mostly one journey? (Driving from down south to Scotland or something) Highest ive heard of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I've had over 30 miles once the light's on loads of times, even when ragging the tits off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 There's a thread on it somewhere... I think I went London to Cannock and back, via a lupo meet in MK, then possibly round the M25 to Kent iirc. I sincerely think I could get 500 miles out of a properly filled tank with the right conditions, but that's not why I bought the car!

Tigz™ Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I only get 240 miles to the tank out of my wife's 1.4 Lupo Auto when I am not driving. When I drive it I only get 190 mile's. Amazing you guys get more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
