How many miles for £10?

[Magic Johnson]

I get 100, that's not me driving economically or foot planted, just normal driving.

I drive a 1.2 8v, what do you guys get?

 

[scott1205]

i rekon i get bout 120 ish depends how i drive av got a 1.2 16v

 

[-Leigh-]

Depends on the price of petrol tbh.

 

[Gally]

I always got 100 out of my 1.2 16v.
Petrol was about the same price as it is now.
Larger engine is feeling thirsty these recent weeks

Just what it is now. Was curious so reset the counter and ran proper low and filled it up with a tenner. Had 104 miles on the clock before I had to fill up again.

 

[paul g]

50-60 for the light to come on

 

[Revels]

I dont think ive put £10 in since I was a student.

Makes sense, as I'm a student.

Hate going to the garage twice a week.

 

[jamie.91]

twice a week i have a 1.2 and i go almost everyday or every other at least!

jamie

 

[Dafthead]

would be 48

I always put in a full £50 tank at a time tho

How many miles a day do you do then?

I do about 20-25.

 

[JR]

No idea, at a guess 70-75 ?

 

[bennyball]

according to my trip computer it should give me about 80 miles, in reality, its probably more like 65 or less...

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

My 1.2 did ABOUT 100 miles per £10

It cost just over £40 to fill up, and did about 400 miles.

 

[Dan R]

My 182 with bodies and cams does about 60 max on ten quid its goes down to equivalent to 1 lap of the nurburgring wen im there tho!! 12 miles lol

 

[Ian_182]

100-120 in the focus

 

[Brett]

anything from 70-139.

My mpg if i'm just around town doing about 30 miles a week atm is about 30mpg but on the motorway being careful I managed 56.3 MPG over 90 miles so to £10 I'd do 139 miles.

 

[Ali]

10£ Gets me 27-30miles. Mayb 35 if i'm not being a Ruppert!

 

[Gray]

Not enough!

 

[The Boosh!]

Not enough!

thats down to your driving though.
yours would be more economical than mine as it weighs f**k all

 

[scott1205]

i always put 30 quid in nearly fills my tank and get about 360 mile so a tenner i get 120

 

[Magic Johnson]

I've also stripped the boot of spare tyre, jack, boot carpet, parcel shelf and lots of other junk. It's helped a tad but not much.

 

[NaGGz]

60-70 miles on £10. Thats with a full boot tho!

 

[AndyWilde]

around 65 miles

 

[Alan]

65ish if drving like a female.

 

[Rossy197]

tbh i dont know on my motor, Fill it up everytime but i usaully go through that in 4-5 days as just go work and back but working in central london its bumper to bumper anyway.. Do about 20 miles per day which is pants.. Got 24.7 mpg on the clock now lol but on the motorway going Coventry last week i got an amazing 40.1 but i was driving like a 80yr old

 

[Magic Johnson]

Can anyone work out what 100miles/£10 is in MPG for me please?

Thanks!

 

[Goders172]

Around 55-60 ish

 

[AndyWilde]

Around 55-60 ish

More like 45

 

[DrR]

I only ever fill it right up as i hate going to petrol stations.

 

[benmore]

well, I averaged 90-100 miles to £10 in my 172 when I went to ktec.. as above, rarely put as little as £10 in, usually £35 ish fills mine over the full mark on the gauge.

I don't let the light come on though usually, fill up as I hit the one above last notch on the gauge

normal driving, 60-70, most the time lately, 30-45 lol

no idea why my foot has become heavier.

 

[DrR]

I don't get how you can measure this accuratly TBH

 

[benmore]

we probably can't, but, if your light comes on, you put £10 in, then drive until the light comes on again, noting how much the fuel costs, you could more or less get it right.. no?

 

[DrR]

Thats way to rough for my liking.

 

[Ed]

Im a student, but i always fit mine right up!

370 miles to a tank. With a 1.2 v8.

1.2 V8 - didnt know they did them :rasp:

 

[john.med]

fill car up. Note mileage, use tank. Fill up again, keep receipt showing fuel in. Note mileage again at fill up. Shows you how many litres you've used to cover x miles. 1 uk gallon = 4.54609 litres. I average 34 mpg, so with fuel at 88.9p i think i've calculated £10 will get me 75 miles. How bored was I?

 

[Mells]

Indeed. Brim it once a week.

 

[Andyman]

I did a very rough experiment on my other car last year with the difference between filling up with £10 of fuel vs £20.

Got a extra 30 miles with the 20 quid fill up.

 

[benmore]

you think you're bored? :rasp:

I wrote a quick utility to calculate this for anyone wondering lol
