Black-Gold 182
£4.50
Ok that's not too bad, I've budgeted £50 a week on petrol so I should be ok
Well it's a f**king stupid question.
Can you tell me how much I will be spending a day on holiday please? I will be eating food and buying drinks.
God forbid there's a cow in the road, you might use another 2p worth of petrol going round it. You haven't budgeted for that have you.

In your 172? That's good
Black-Gold 182
Well I will be once I've saved up some more money - the wait's killing me!!
Black Gold with cup packs
£42 a tank, v-power gets me 300 miles. This is the journey to and from my moms. About 30 miles of that towny sort of driving, and 270 all motorway.
Not bad eh???
In a clio turbo? Thats brilliant!
Would you suggest turboing my 172? or should I just p/x my car and get a Vee or trophy? obviously then will have no turbo?
Mercedes SLK350
I have been getting 38/39 mpg just lately, travelling along various speed limit country roads.
Depending on how you drive you might use half a gallon of fuel a day on your round trip to and from work.

I can make £40 worth of fuel last 3 weeks.
Only because you don't go anywhere. Your fuel does not get used, it evaporates. :rasp:

Get a turbo, I've just upped the boost to 12psi and fook me this thing gives you a kick in the back. Great for overtaking manouvers.
The trophy would be a good choice if you want a car that can handle well, who needs acceleration if you never have to slow down.
The V6 is apparently not as easy to handle as the fwd 172/182. Plus performance wise, not very quick. They look fooking nice though!!!!!
HyperAlloy Combat Chassis
If I drive carefully, I get 42-45mpg on my drive to work which is a mix of dual carriage way and town. I have tried both V-Power and Sansburies super and there was zero difference economy or performance wise, so I stick with sainsburies which is £4 a tank cheaper.
2004 182 Black Gold
Do you rev the engine above 2.5k ?
That's some MPG... The best I've ever got is around 39-40 MPG and that was using cruise on a long motorway run

Change at 2k and cruise at about 2.8-3.2k (45-50). That aside, I made various other changes to the way I drive and it's really paying off. I'm up from 30mpg on the same route, which saves me £70 a month not to mention brakes and tyres
Might as well save them for a more interesting bit of road.
CLIO 172 EXCLUSIVE
I do 40 mile round trip to work - town and about 10 mile on M1 - getting about 32mpg and average 25 mph! Full tank last me about a week.
