How many miles do you get to a tank???

[BenWall]

hey folks,

I have a 1.4s and I am currently seeing how many miles I can get to a full tank, and was curious to what everyone else here gets.

Give the size of your engine and how many miles.

Thanks

 

[martynh]

182 (2.0) - 320 ish.

 

[Rich]

Not a clue with the 182, never ran it from a full tank down to empty!

My 1.4 Pug 306 - 400-425 miles per tank (50 Litres)

 

[Djw John]

Mk2 1.4 S 320-370 a tank usually

Hey, is this good for a 1.4s?

 

[Weeman]

250, if it gets used properly, i think vw drilled a hole into the tank as standard

Oh and its a 2 litre, turbot gti Golf.

 

[Justin]

182, about 300-350, depending how i drive!

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

500+

 

[daveg]

Hm, the most I can get out of my 182 is about 280, and that's driving sensibly. Don't think I've ever had 300 in over a year of ownership...How you'd get 350 is beyond me!?

 

[chrisn01]

On my 182, I get about 275 - 320, but thats more down to my lead foot I think lol Its good on the Motorway though, but what every you do, keep the air con off, it drinks the stuff when its on

 

[BenWall]

500+

what engine is that?

 

[Kiev85]

not enough...

 

[fizzy_drink]

About 280 (I can't get the last 3 litres in, due to a faulty breather).

 

[Djw John]

Hey, is this good for a 1.4s?

Yeah Id say so, the most I ever got was 370 on a couple of occassions, about 41mpg!

 

[DaveJwxm]

1.2 450 miles, it usually says 46.0mpg

 

[Jonaldinho]

Mk2 Phase1 1.2 8v - 300..370

I gotta heavy foot lol

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

what engine is that?

1.5 dci @ 45mpg (for those who don't know, that means fast)

 

[TELFORDS_LURK]

1.4 Dynamique Mk2 Ph3

About 300-320 with about 30mpg.

 

[Daz]

Still on the original tank of petrol then Rich? lol

Get about 300 to 330 in mine depending on how fruity i'm feeling

 

[edde]

I never run down to the red line (only even seen I once in 68k) but it should do about 420 or so.
Dci 65hp model.

 

[chrisn01]

I do find the better grade of fuel you use, the more miles you get

 

[Subway]

Modified 172 cup - 200miles average (f**king gay)

 

[Rich]

Still on the original tank of petrol then Rich? lol

Sssh! I was trying to keep quiet on that one

 

[JMR]

172 2003 model.

Get around 380-400 off a full tank.

Trip indicates 40mpg off almost every tank. I drive 50 mile round trip to work each day, semi-fast national speed limit A-roads. You sometimes get held up behind trucks etc, so by default it helps your economy.....and believe me the 172 gets some hammer when a gap appears ahead!

Have had 46mpg over a 70mph constant motorway run too. That was taking the p*ss a bit, cos I was very light on the right foot...just seeing the maximum I could get.

ps.. I run Optimax all the time.

 

[Clio 1.216v Dynamique]

420 odd in my 1.2

 

[Paddy_g46]

mk1 1.4rt 34 pounds of petty 200 miles i thought was an ok milage untill i looked at all u lot! i must rag my car excessively! lol

 

[GarethM]

i get between 320-340ish on a full tank
ph-quick (2000 172)

 

[BenWall]

mk1 1.4rt 34 pounds of petty 200 miles i thought was an ok milage untill i looked at all u lot! i must rag my car excessively! lol

jesus, u must rag it silly! lol. I am at half a tank now with my 1.4s and I am coming up to 200 miles.

 

[Paddy_g46]

well actually i drove the car really sensibly for a whole tank once and only got 250 out of it and it didnt rag it once because i wanted 2 check how much i was loosing out on? so mayb somethign else is wrong? how much does it cost u 2 fill ur tank?

 

[Mada05]

Had my 172 Cup for a week, put £30 worth of petrol in last Tuesday and have done about 220 miles. Trip indicates 104 miles in the tank so thats 44 before the fuel light comes on.

 

[Kneel]

I very often doubt the trip it never moves from 37.5 mpg. I normally get about 160miles from 1/2 tank on my 1.2. Some of you guys must have super light feet!!

 

[Kiev85]

God...


So this is why the demand for petrol is increasing...??


That and the STUPID boy racers who drive about town aimlessly every night of the week for no reason at all....

 

[GordonD]

172

Around town:
340 miles to the warning light going on saying I need to fill up (43.5 L)
390 miles to empty

On a trip:
(a) not in the Northern Territory
370 miles to the warning light
430 miles to empty
(b) in the Northern Territory - no open road speed limit
300 miles to the warning light
350 miles to empty

About the same £35. But if I let the tank right down then it goes to £38. I am now just inbetween the quarter and the half a tank, and I have just drove 20m to college and im on 250miles, so I should go for 300+ on this tank.

 

[sneeks]

In my 172 usually 300-320 miles but it did once manage 415 miles

 

[JBarber]

182. I get around 300 miles local driving, maybe 350 with motorway driving. That's from full to petrol light, usually £35-40 to re-fill.

The trip computer usually moves from 30 mpg to about 37 mpg is best I've seen (after a full day on the M25 stuck at about 50). From my calculations the trip computer is a bit optmistic, and the real figure is 1-2 mpg worse.

 

[mas]

i can get 100 miles to a tenner, about 37£ to fill up....

about 370... and if i really push it, drive like a granny i will get 400

 

[Fred@BTM]

350 out of the V6 (all motorway)
