davidelliott294 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi,Filled the tank, not really been driving sensibly but I got about 170 miles to the tank, could maybe have got 15 more.Is that right or is there something wrong? I mean that's about 25mpg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 If you're having a good time it's smiles per gallon and you shouldn't worry about it.Do a tank conservatively and then report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try drive like a granny. Not worried about MPG, just want to make sure it ain't running rich and should.be getting more miles for the same sort of smiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 If you're driving it properly at high speeds accelerating through the revs and generally bouncing it about a bit then 170 is about right.Sometimes it is good to try to get a decent amount out of the tank just to know that things are running right.

angelo77 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I get between 170 and 215 per tank on momentum or v power, all depends on if its motorway or around town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thissy Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Yeah sounds about right to me, i get about 180 to a tank when giving it stick. Although i have got as little as 140 to a tank on one occasion when spending a day driving my favorite roads. Then again when being sensible i have got about 240. Always using v-power by the way.Mike Edited March 13, 2013 by Thissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
