How far on a Full Tank?



  07 RENAULT CLIO SPORT DCI
Hi there people, i currently have a 57 plate clio campus 1.5 dci 65. On average i got 700 miles on a full tank of diesel with the most being 742 miles with 85% of that being on the motorway.

I've now moved closer to work so most of my driving is now around town so on average i only get around 550 miles to a full tank. Therefore with the cost of diesel being more than petrol i'm thinking of selling my dci for a petrol, maybe even a 172/182 if the insurance isn't stupid, so i'm interested to see how far the petrol engines get on average to a full tank to see if its worth me changing.

I know a diesel will always do more miles on a full tank, but at what higher cost? to do the same amount of miles in a petrol might end up being cheaper in the long run.

280 till the fuel light comes on, most i've had before i get scared of running out of fuel is 320

From a 50 lt tank lol.

It's better to work out the prices from MPG anyhow.

Lol, on a good drive my 182 gets 290 - 300 on a full tank. And that giving it some stick a bit.

I have ragged it my whole tank this time and getting just over 200

700 is not bad! I have had 400 before from mine, but usually 300 with urban and mixed driving. 50l tank as well.
 
  ITB'd 182...
Anywhere between 320 and 360 atm

Work is 25 mile away and as soon as i leave my place, i get up to about 70 in 5th and it dont go down the box until i arrive at work so nice and steady

Slowpoke FTW!

i do around 350 as i drive almost 300 miles to and back from work each week and ths country lanes and a dual carriage way

I'm getting about 300 to a full tank atm, but that's mainly town driving. Done a run to Bridgend and back today, computer reckoned i was getting 51mpg?! which would work out about 500 miles!! (Doubt it!)

Blimey, i've never had it go that low, even with some right foot action ! 22mpg round town & 35 on the motorway.

How on earth are some people managing 200 miles to a full tank?

I'm getting just under that to half a tank and I do give my car a bit of stick now and then. You lot must be frapping these motors to within an inch of their lives to manage that :nono:

I get just over 300 miles on a steady run but usually around 250 with spirited driving thrown into the mix

Done a run from Nottingham to Cardiff & back in my m8's vee and he was getting 23-25mpg until we found some tunnels :rasp:

I've never even bothered trying to get good figures - I can't not put my toe down!

About 300 or so in the 172. The bottom bit of the tank seems huge and I end up filling it when it gets toward the bottom. Trip reckons it still has a significant number of miles left but I haven't tried.

what annoys me is when the light comes on it won't tell you how many miles you have left! I used to gauge the willy on the needle - I don't trust this one.

willy would get me 23 odd miles on the light, not sure if the tanks bigger/better on this

you will get about 30 on the light driving sensibly, knock it to 25 -20miles if your putting your foot down.

Ive got a ph1 172 and get about 350 miles on a full tank if i take it easy, like changing gear at 2500 revs. If i put my foot down i get more like 220ish!
 
  Albi Blue RS 200
Around 270-280 before the light comes on. It's about 36 quid to fill her when the light comes on.

I too get about 300 to the tank.

Again, you struggle to get £40 into a tank. Why are the tanks so small!
 
  White APE
Lol. My OH's 206 takes nearly £50. She gets pissed at me when mines so much cheaper to fill up. Sister says the same thing about her cooperS. They dont seem to understand that it simply means im gettin less fuel into the car meaning i need to refuel more often? women! lol

My 2001 clio dCi 65 is about the same round town 500 ish on a tank,and mostly motorway 650 ish on £46 -£50 derv
