Non RS how many miles per tank

[AlexG]

mines a 1.4 8v and i have got 290miles to my full tank £46.00 worth. shocking i think
what does everyone else get?

 

[Poopensharten]

You want to get yourself a horse, sugar cubes are cheaper than petrol

 

[nozza89]

i have a 1.2 and depending on how i drive i get 290 - 310 miles . more like an average of 300 atm, shocking i think considering what some larger engined cars will do. i payed £47.78 for my last full tank and that was from as empty as i dared get it :evil:

 

[Timmay]

my old 1.6 dynamique used to get 360 - 400 if i didnt push her too much

 

[Beef-Mc]

I got about 480 miles, 90% motorway miles and 10% town/back road driving.

 

[AlexG]

on the threads with the 1*2's people are saying they get around 350 average and 420 max:S

i though i would get atleast 380 ish

 

[Pep]

In my 1.2 16v I used to get about 380miles before the light would come on again. But I drove it like an old woman because I was skint!

 

[daydotz]

520 miles before i fill up my dci an thats with 10ltrs or more left in the tank

 

[santoz]

some of them are really bad, i'd get 320miles with the red light just coming on in the 182!

in my 1.6 vtr xsara i used to get around the same to a full tank!


smaller engine sometimes doesn't equat to better mpg, think its more to do with the way you drive!

 

[Blue4Ever]

^ Yeah, probably due to the fact that you have to thrash it to get anywhere!

 

[Cookie]

I used to get around 450 to a tank in my old 1.2, bout 400 in the 172

 

[Brett]

From full to redlight, so around 40 liters last time i filled up i got 350 miles that was @ 40mpg which is around average. Was only getting low 30's when i got it but i used to drive quicker back then. 40's average me now, mixture of town and DC driving.

 

[172boost]

I rag the arse off my 1.2 and get around 320 per tank (£40)

 

[Ian]

I put between £50 and £53 and usually get 350-400 miles from it. Can drop down quite a bit though as most of my driving is urban.

 

[Marky_]

On my current tank i got 200 out of the first half which was combined, but only about 60 for the next quarter which has been urban.

Not doing too well.

 

[Hazza]

I get just under 400miles on a full tank.

 

[willynwilson]

mk3 1.2 16v 520 miles to tank on 60 quidish

 

[Cupster]

Unreal how the smaller engines get the same mileage, I do mostly urban driving and I dont hang about in my cup, still see 33mpg and easily 300 miles to a tank!!

 

[daydotz]

mk3 1.2 16v 520 miles to tank on 60 quidish

thats really good i really need to push mine a bit futher i normal fill up once its hits the red

 

[willynwilson]

mk3 1.2 16v 520 miles to tank on 60 quidish

thats really good i really need to push mine a bit futher i normal fill up once its hits the red

44-46 mpg, but thats me driving around like a learner again!

im getting 56mpg from a dci i dont think i learner driver is a good comparison :rasp: they not the best drivers in terms of clutch control an gear changing to start with

 

[clairemae]

on my 1.2 i used to get about 350 - 400

 

[Aluco]

1.4 16v

£53 to brim it normally get 320-380 miles

 

[AlexG]

how many litres does the mk2 hold so i can work out my mpg?

 

[Ian]

Well for £53 at about 117.9-118.9 makes it about 45 litre, sure somebody will give a more exact answer.

 

[Aluco]

how many litres does the mk2 hold so i can work out my mpg?

I was under the impression it was 60 :S

 

[Ian]

Hmm, maybe I'm way off then. I did:

117.9p per litre
£53 to fill from virtually empty, therefore:

53 / 1.179 = 44.95 litres.

Maybe the newer models have a bigger tank, lol

 

[Hutchie]

full tank of lpg costs me 18.77 and it gets me 210 miles and my car is shocking on fuel 29mpg on a good run normally 25

 

[AlexG]

well i just found the reciept from when i filled up the gauge was right down as low as i could dare and it took 38.08 litres. have i got a different size tank or is my gauge broken and i have a load of fuel more than i realised:S

 

[Alastair.]

1000mils easy, steady 1500 miles no problem

 

[Marky_]

I reckon it's 50

 

[AhmedRSi]

I get minimum >340 miles per tank comfortably, that includes some spirited driving. IF im absolutely thrashing it (>4500 revs) the lowest ive had is 220ish miles to a tank.

 

[Luke.]

420 per tank, 40mpg, £47quid from bottom to top!

 

[J.A.Y]

Bout 400 miles average, 1.2, driving like a granny lol

 

[kenny172]

i done alton towers in a tank and a half - 530 mile round trip

 

[Ian]

i done alton towers in a tank and a half - 530 mile round trip

Not bad that.. I travelled down to Worcester, across to Banbury and then Silverstone, back to Worcseter, up to Alton Towers and home to Manchester. I had to put £78 in overall, about 550 miles (although I did end up in Chorley so it may have been more than that lol)

 

[kenny172]

lol il be honest i was taking it easy all the time to get that iirc it read about 44mpg average

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

I had as many as 800 miles out of my DCI80.. And as few as 300.

 

[oz_clio]

800!
usually average 36ish mpg on my 1.4....to a tank the trip says id usually get 450 but i havent measured it.

 

[Gadget man]

My trip computer says 423 miles from a 1.2. I've never run it to the bottom of the tank though, 2 bars from the bottom is the lowest I've been before filling up again! Costs me £30 for a tank of petrol, albeit (as above), not a full one.

My trip computer says 41.5mpg, which has come up from around 38mpg from when I had 17's on.
