Hi mate, is that including the reserve tank for the 172? I ask as when I fill mine, which according to the guage is on near nil it always takes circa 40 litres... Is the final amount in the tank very disproportionate? Per the trip I always have another 100 miles on this tiny fraction. By this point I am usually on about 300 miles for the tank, which is about 37mpg per my manual calculations.

They look so much bigger than 18s... mine are only 17"!

 

[Addz]

the fronts look bigger than the backs imo on mine which is odd as they have the same profile tyre :S

i think reserve tanks hold about 10l, plus there is fuel circulating in the pipes / system, the published capacity is 50l. I can only ever get about 48 at the pumps when into the red, even though mine is 55l.
