How many miles do you get to 10 quids worth of petrol.
i filled up on monday with 30 quids worth of optimax and done 210miles and now its on red !!! is this normal ?? had the car 2 weeks, and its not been nailed !!
70 miles seems about right. you may as well nail it every where as the only time I see a big difference in consumption is when doing motorway journeys.
I put £38 of Optimax in usually as it tends to be on just below the last white mark when I fill it. (£38 of Optimax equates to about £36 worth of regular fuel.)
From that I get about 280 miles if I'm lucky. So I'm also getting roughly the 70 miles per £10 ratio.
I don't drive overly quick everywhere but it's the cold start and drive 12 miles to work each morning and cold start back home and then to the gym 3 miles that does it.
I try to use cruise control where I can but I don't think it makes much difference.
I'm gonna experiment at half filling up twice a week but I doubt that would add much more than 5 miles to a tank.
If i drive extra carefully i can get 400 miles out of a tank, takes about £40 to fill her so 100 miles. although I have done 130 on a tenner in teh past.. coasting was involved tho.
