last filled up at 44 litres, at 1.08p per litre. Managed 320miles ish, averaging around 32mpg i think it was.
535d / t5 caravelle
main reason i ask is i'm just wondering if its actually worth me having a diesel, i've got a golf gt tdi as a daily driver, as much as its a lovely car, it costs £55-£60 to fill up and i'm getting 470 miles to a tank, dont think its really worth it for the miles i do, debating selling it and having 5-6k to splash out on something with a it more about it ( probably not a clio )
so if you where to use £55-60 quids worth of juice, how many mile would you be seeing?

Nawt!!!Off road Quad!
well i put £40 in couple of weeks ago and got 3/4 of a tank ...twas 1.28 a ltr SUPER lol
For £48 i did 320, and for £10 i can do around 80miles.
So £68 would see around 480 ish for me.

a tenner seems to be getting 77 miles for me, i've been thinking my old williams wasn't much more expensive from what i can remember
80 miles is with a bit of the loud pedal aswell. Im sure more is achievable, but boring

The cost to fill its going to be whatever fuel prices are doing at the time, its an 11 gallon tank so its about 55 litres.
I never undertand why everyone (if its viable) fills up with v-power (98 ron) as the difference between the two is normally between 6-11p.
It would cost £51.90 to fill with unleaded (@92.9) where as it would cost you £56.04 (@101.9) to will with V-power or any other 98 Ron.
your talking £5 of a difference, not much in the way of hot hatch owner ship tbh!

My trip computer always reads 38 as the driving I do is all A road/ M-way with very few stop and starts. I'm not sure how accurate that actually is I haven't done a complete fill on it yet and worked it out for myself.
On my Williams I used to get between 32 and 39mpg. 32 was thrashing it all the time and 39 was never driving hard.
My wifes 1.2 punto does about 50 to the gallon and thats obviously v good but when you consider that having a 1.2 to a 2.0 only has a 10 mpg swing if you are not doing huge miles the cost saving can be fairly small.
With fuel prices coming down though the differential must be in your favour though.

The difference is always 7p in the UK, fixed price increase over normal UL

easy! once you get over givin it beans it'll do 40 mpg no prob. as for the seat,i had a 150bhp golf gttdi that was chipped. once the chip was on i was gettin ridiculous mpg when driven steady in 6th. between maidstone and ashford i averaged 72mpg! what an mpg geek!!
You would think so, but IMO, it costs more to buy in the first place just to do more miles. Im happy with petrol

must mention, my car journeys, are generally 7 mile trips to and from work on b roads, so i suppose the car doesn't get chance to give its full potential, but i expected better tbh, no doubt on a long run, it would improve
ps. its on 18 inch rims so this wont help

Work out how long it will take before you save money in the diesel...
15,000 miles
95p petrol
107p diesel
petrol - 35mpg
15,000/35 * 4.5 * 0.95 = £1832
diesel - 50mpg
15,000/50 * 4.5 * 1.07 = £1444
So you would save about £400 per year on fuel
so if the diesel was £1600 more, it would take you 4 years before you'd saved money buying a diesel.
So not really worth it!
