miles out of 172 tank

[clioman]

Hi, i have 2002 mk2 172 and i'm just wondering how many miles people are getting out of a tank a fuel? I'm getting about 330 driving careful.

Seems to be going down quick but have read that is coz of the cold weather.

[daviebroon]

my trip reads 456 miles at 45mpg.........

but realistically when i get my foot down... its nearer 150 miles

 

[seb]

trip estimate or a real worl 330???

i can never manage more than a record 280

 

[fUbAr]

i get 300miles, and thats not driving slow

 

[Mike_SE]

about 300, with just about all town driving

 

[daviebroon]

...........................




i must be doing something wrong lol..... i never get anywhere NEAR 300... OR 200 lol

 

[Mike_SE]

maybe your only putting a tenner in lol

 

[daviebroon]

lol... don't joke. 90% of my visits to the petrol stations are 10quids worth lol

 

[ant]

£25 gets me in the region of 150 miles. think my record was about 180.

 

[Mike_SE]

i used to do that in my calibra V6. Man, THAT used some petrol, lucky to get 200 miles from 45 quid

 

[fizzy_drink]

I managed quite a few miles once:

Realistically - 280 pretty much every time.


LOL!! Apparently my video (of running out of petrol) is not allowed? Bloody idiots!!

 

[Mike_SE]

sounds a bit hardcore to me Oms! lol

 

[R20 CWH]

330 is my usual, have had a record 381.7 once!!

 

[seb]

i generally get 230 - 240. 280 on a long haul keeping it steady.

£20 is only just half a tank.

Car tends to fair better over longer distances, driving around town doing 50 miles a week it seems to drink the fuel el rapido

mine as well

 

[davo172cup]

on average i get 250 miles out of a tank! but i dont do much motorway driving. wen im on a long run down the m5 i get 400 miles in the tank coming up on the computer but if u stick ur foot down u can loose 20miles in 5 real miles!!!!

 

[Clart]

Got 350+ a few weeks ago, but that was 90% motorway cruising at 80.

If i'm doing shorter trips i'll be lucky to see 280

 

[fizzy_drink]

Mk1's are much better on fuel... so are MK2 172's.

182's are just a lost thirstier!

(ps, my panel filter doesn't help?).

 

[Fletcher]

Cold weather does drop mpg though.

 

[thedoc]

mk2 mostly m/way driving 350+ from a tank...

 

[W3STY]

On my PH1 172 I always put a full tank in which last week was £42 of BP Ultimate and the fuel light had just come on. I do mainly town driving and pretty much every tank I use I only get around 230 miles. I always reset the trip for every tank and my MPG comes out around 23-25.

I do have a particularly heavy foot and the car seems to really enjoy the power band for some reason. :approve:

[danny1]

I get 350+ every time motorway driving mostly.

 

[Ad]

330 was average for me, mixture of motorway and town

 

[mja182]

Driving using the cruise control keeps the mpg up alot higher and more from the tank. I tend to drive A roads and use the cruise when i can which makes a world of difference as your not dabbing the throttle all the time.

 

[MarkCup]

340-380 almost every time on the road.

107 miles is the lowest I've got from a full tank on track - almost ran out in the last session...stuttering and cutting out through hard corners LOL

 

[Ali]

Best i've had is 340miles.

 

[Jimmer]

230 - 260 and it's 40 Rats to fill a tank!

With a very feather touch foot (Motorway Driving), i've got 420 out my tank on Mk1 172. Normally around 350.

 

[Shaun16v]

I get around 340 - 360 on every tank, always fill up as soon as the petrol light comes on, and every time fill to the top.
Most of my driving is in slow traffic in the city centre, or hard driving on b roads.... maybe they get more economical with age/miles as mine sounds like one of the more economical ones

 

[Munday]

I know I don't have a 172 but in my 182 Cup at the moment I am on 180 miles and need to refill! Its not very economical lately lol

 

[preecy]

I work in newcastle and have just driven to preston onto manchester then back to newcastle and i still had pertol left in the tank ... done roughly 370 miles in total and cpu reckons i still had another 75 miles in the tank! Although the needle wasnt far from the red so i wouldnt have liked to chance another 7 miles.

I'd say i usually get about 340-380 miles on a full tank, thats a bout 50% motorway and 50% about town.

Oh and its a 52 reg 172 on 23k and i dont bother with the expenise fuel crap like bp ultimate... its the cheap sh!t asda & morrisons flog at 87p a lite for me all the way!

 

[dk]

280-300

 

[stevo172-RWD]

dunno what mine will be after the turbos in but my worst was about 200 and my best about 330! one time my trip com went to 6mpg! cause my plugs burnt out methinks

 

[CrazyK]

Depends how I drive it,

I used it as transport to work and I travel about 100 miles a day I get just about 300-350 miles from a tank (depending on traffic) I took it to newcastle from guildford surrey filled up on a motorway service station and got 450 miles from the tank, thats @ 70-80mph all the way on cruise control

 

[bj7864]

i Usually get about about 180 miles for 25 quid, just in and around town mainly. apart from the times i feel like flying down the A19. lol

 

[Fletcher]

I get around £300+ if doing mostly motorways.

 

[nezza]

£25 gets me no less than 200 miles... 2002 Mk2 172 (35MPG) I don't drive slowly, but mostly change gear between 3 and 4k RPM

 

[daviebroon]

just done 700mile round trip.... and done it in 2.5 tanks.... about 100 quid. Sitting at 80mph with the occasional blast to 140 to kill the boredom

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Got 47.5 mpg the other day but I do motorway driving mostly now. Normally get about 380 before the light comes on which is rair, you have to fill up in prep whenever you can using the M25!! f**king traffic.
