Petrol on a valver averages about 30mpg, 35mpg if you're lucky.

I swear BenR makes his car run on air as he claims he can get 450 miles out of a tank LoL, but most get about 300 or so, if you're just driving.

Williams are quite a bit more juicy though iirc - not good! lol

i always used to find that the 1.4's and 1.2's used more fuel as i had to thrash the balls of them to get them to go lol

Mine's ok on the petrol, but I do give it the beans sometimes... I just can't help it! :rasp: With regards to servicing/repair costs.... a lot more than my RT has ever cost me.

Depends how you drive though.

Service costs will be the same if your doing it yourself. Garages will charge more for valver/williams as there a pain to work on.
Petrol not much different.

so how many miles would you get from a tank around town?

 

[RSTuning]

I think it used to be 28 quid to fill mine and i got about 250 miles i think

 

[RSTuning]

[Paddy_g46]

i used to only get 200 miles from my rt tank because i ragged it so hard lol, redlined it quite a lot lol

I get 250 miles+ out of my bodied hybrid used to get 320 or so out of my williams.....costs ain't that bad especially if your willing to tackle the easier jobs yourself!
