How much fuel does your 182 hold??

[Andy_con]

OK i run my tank down to like 70-80 miles, then if i put £30 worth of pertol in it, its full and the pump starts clicking.

ive been told (Paul) that this isnt right and the car should hold more.

how much petrol does your 182 hold?

 

[fuel_slut]

I run my 172 down to the red line then put about £45 worth in to fill it.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Hold 50 litres . If i run mine low i only ever manage to get about 40 litres in when i fill it up .

 

[bmh.01]

The fuel gauge under reads by quite a bit i've discovered. Even with the fuel light on i'll struggle to get more than 40l in.

 

[Andy_con]

i dont do liters, £ people LOL

 

[bmh.01]

Well V Power is 90.9 round here so: 40l x 90.9 = 3636 / 10 = £36.36.

 

[Andy_con]

yeah see i only run mine down to like 60-70 miles

 

[darren_rallye]

50 litres is the official capacity. In £ that would be approx 50 * 0.9

I'd take fuel needle readings with a pinch of salt...

(cue 100 miles to a tenner crew)

 

[DebV6]

It cost me about £37 to fill up with v-power.

 

[Andi-B]

From nearly empty - I mean fuel lights been on for nearly 20 miles empty, I put in about £43 (Price @ 89.9p litre)

Bear in mind that it's a 50 litre (11 gallon) tank in the 182 -
so as an example:- To fill it from dry, it would take £44.95 est to fill @ 89.9p

 

[LadySarah]

With under 30 miles left cost me average £40 to fill to top in V-Power, but petrol prices have gone down lately, used to be bit more than that.

Wonder how much weeman pays in Holland.

 

[Andy_con]

so running it down to like 60-70 miles and the tank being full at £30 is normal???

 

[LadySarah]

If you are putting cheap petrol in then maybe

 

[Andy_con]

???? i just use sainsburys

 

[fuel_slut]

When you fill your tank is it coming out the top and switching the pump off? Im sure you should get more than £30's worth in there.

Only one way to find out and thats run your 182 till the fuel light comes on then fill it full.

 

[LadySarah]

Their plain unleaded is prob a lot cheaper than v-power, so i reckon that's right. You wanna upgrade to v-power though mate... it's worth it imo

 

[Andy_con]

No it dont come out the top the pump just clicks

yeah but i get my club card points LOL and i do alot of miles.

ive got 17000 points!!! LOL

Complete agree with this

Just try filling up from empty with v-power one day and see if you notice the difference. What do you get for these points then?

 

[Andy_con]

well hopefull next year flights to paris or somewhere

 

[Justin]

i dont notice any difference with sainsburys and v power tbh

 

[Andy_con]

i like said i do lots of miles so cheap is good. i do sometimes of a weekend put good stuff in

i used betweek 50-60quids worth of petrol a week

 

[RobTQ]

With a full tank the dash board test thing on mine says either 51L or 52L.

 

[Davey182]

Most I've ever put in is 45 litres... I remember it because I had 30 miles left on the trip computer, I put my foot down and suddenly I had no miles left... which was a bit worrying. I then drove the rest of the route as slowly as possible in the highest gear possible. Still got the reciept in my wallet. I must have been seriously close to having no fuel left...

 

[tameracingdriver]

Normally about 35 quid for me, but i dont wait until the warning light is on, i fill up well before.

 

[domtheone]

Approx £35-£40 depending how dry the tank is and what fuel.

Most i've ever got in it is 44 litres.

Bang on £40 the other day with Vpower.

Back to S-burys 97 next time as I can't tell any difference! Except on idle where it's much smoother than when I got it (4 months) since it's been run 100% on 97/98

 

[Tyson-182]

I still don't understand the Clio trip computer. Renault stipulate that it holds 50 litres or 11 gallon's so why the hell does the fuel light come on a 9 gallons, and say 40 miles to fill up if there is still 2 gallons remaining? Stupid things! Anyway, costs me around £37-40 to fill.

Tyson.

 

[Andi-B]

You keep forgetting one thing Tyson......


It's a RENUALT When does it ever run 100% right? lol

I've had mine come on at 1/4 tank showing, it's usually the speed you go round bends, it confuses the gauge into thinking it's empty when all it's done is all the petrol has moved over to one side of the fuel tank.

 

[Andy_con]

my trip comp is pants, a 2 mile journey knocks off like 10 on the trip comp

 

[Englebert]

Only if you're doing a crap MPG when you overall average is good. I find it pretty accurate.

 

[Andy_con]

i just find it pants but hey LOL

 

[Chili Red]

The most I've ever got in with the fuel light on was just over £40 worth when Optimax (as was) was a pound a litre.


Weeman..

 

[Ja5on]

when the petrol lights on to put it to the brim its always about 40ls plus.

from memory

 

[Karl3158]

Remeber the trip computer is an overall average for the use of the tank. E.g. you could have driven 200miles @ 35mpg then thrashed it for 50miles etc and the computer still reports 33mpg or similar, it's pretty accurate but shouldn't be relied on..

Most i've put in is 43ltrs, I go on the fact there's about 30miles left after the light comes on..

 

[JayR]

About £35 on on 91.9p per litre v-power.

Your not far out dependent on what your putting in and at what cost!?

 

[MarkCup]

I squeezed in 48.4 litres the other day.

I had to, I got caught short before (no Shell garage within reach) and had to put a splash of toss supermarket sludge in and wanted to get as much of it out as possible before giving it a proper feed with V-Power.
