314 miles...... how many tanks?? lol

[cliolou]

well next week when i collect my 172, its 314 miles home :approve: lol so how many tanks is it going to take if i cruise at 70-80 on motor way?

 

[ChrisD172]

1..............just

 

[DrR]

doable in one, but i'd say 1 and abit.

Although my old 172 would not do over 250 miles a tank.

 

[ChrisD172]

Youd defo get the light if you tried on one, as rolo said, will end up tanking up again as you get near home

 

[iimushroomzii]

Cruise at just under 70, might make it then.

 

[cliolou]

and how much is it for full tank?

 

[JR]

400 miles to a tank in mine, so 1 tank and t]you will have some left if you average 36mpg

 

[Craig]

depending how much petrol is about £35-£45

 

[cliolou]

thats alright then i was expecting to spend 50 on fuel

 

[Becca]

1 tank! easy!

 

[1PBY]

I do 330 miles a week and that is one full tank and thats at around 85mph on motorway

 

[ChrisD172]

Its only a 45 litre tank

 

[MRBILLYUK]

1 1/4 tanks for me . It's a 50 litre tank

 

[Stava]

1 tank easy, i average 38mpg and i have my moments of sillyness every so often. just filled up with super and it cost 32 quid from near empty. deal!!

 

[cliolou]

woop ok thanks everyone

 

[ChrisD172]

1 1/4 tanks for me . It's a 50 litre tank

I thought it was a ten gallon tank lol, stand corrected

Would normally have checked but sold my flamer yesterday :dapprove:

 

[cliolou]

flying and using train to get up there to it lol road trip and a half

 

[MRBILLYUK]

^^ Fill it up before you set off home and don't fill it again until after you've reached your home . See if you end up on the hard shoulder ringing the AA lol

 

[ChrisD172]

Where is the car lou?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

It's an 11 gallon tank , but i think level gauge is the most unreliable guage ever .

I've had the tank almost empty , splashed 20 litres in and then done the trip computer test trick and its showed the level to have risen by alot more than 20 litres .

 

[cliolou]

im from near plymouth and clio is in preston

 

[kully]

i tank , if i can get 300 plus miles in mine , sure the clio should be fine , keep to 70

 

[MRBILLYUK]

I'll have a quid with you that you don't make it on one tank :quiet:

 

[MRBILLYUK]

i tank , if i can get 300 plus miles in mine , sure the clio should be fine , keep to 70

Yeah right , thats easier said than done . Would you keep it at 70 Kully ? Me thinks not lol .

 

[cliolou]

lol im not gona try to do it in one tank, ill fill up again when it gets below a 1/4 knowin my luck i would run out in the middle of no where

 

[kully]

Yeah right , thats easier said than done . Would you keep it at 70 Kully ? Me thinks not lol .

i actually keep at 60 :rasp: when driving to work

 

[drunknmunky]

Make its filled up with 99 RON though, im sure Steve will tell u this when u pick it up, iirc its only been run on this

 

[cliolou]

ah ok he hasnt mentioned that. i shall ask him next time i talk to him

 

[MRBILLYUK]

lol im not gona try to do it in one tank, ill fill up again when it gets below a 1/4 knowin my luck i would run out in the middle of no where

Arghhh :nono: . Thats cheating lol .

 

[kully]

i'll bet you do it

 

[Marky_]

Motorways? 1 tank easy.

 

[A18XHO]

1 tank but in 2 halfs should do it

 

[Sam]

Hmmmm. Fill it up to the brim, then fill a jerry can up. See how much u can get out of it, then u know your limits for your car!!!!

If all goes wrong, jerry can ftw!!!



thats what i would do like, then you know how much you got on red light!

 

[john182rs]

Depends if the car youll be driving back is in tip top condiction.
If its like mine you'll get 250 - 280 miles out of the tank.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Follow Bonxys advice , Jerry can in the boot . Prove me wrong that one tank won't make it

Depends if the car youll be driving back is in tip top condiction.
If its like mine you'll get 250 - 280 miles out of the tank.

Thats all i ever get (280mpg) in my 182 and was the same in my 172 . Heavy right foot i guess lol .

 

[cliobritt]

im from near plymouth and clio is in preston

meet when you get back?

 

[Tupps]

Brim it when you get it and it should get you home mate... If you stick to 70 on the motorway.

 

[Ja5on]

1!!!!

 

[R20 CWH]

1 tank no hassle.

 

[joebristolgym]

I used to get approx 25 mpg on average in my 182 day to day, but on a motorway run back from collecting it I got about 350 miles out of a full tank - and that wasn't going slow by any means. I'd have thought you'd could make that assuming 172/182 tanks are the same size.
