Dont believe the MFA, it lies! Work it out over a tankful.


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Although at least a quarter of my tank goes through the exhaust just to pop and grumble

As said I get about 250-300, however the needle lies slightly too. When I refill when I think I'm running on fumes, I can only ever manage to put about 45 litres in, so apparently I've still got 10 litres of fuel/21 year old sludge in the tank.  :sick: :evil:

good luck, I think you are going to need it, and a BIG wallet  :grin: :grin:

agreed not sure why you would want one as a daily driver :undecided:

Use mine daily, average 90 miles a week and it costs me about £20-£25, I do have rather a heavy boot  :lipsrsealed:
Mine averages 20-25 miles to the gallon, 30 on the M roads if i'm lucky  :cry:
I will say, if you are bothered about mpg, dont get a VR  :rolleyes:

Mine was doing about 18mpg when I was driving it. Just fun town driving  :grin: I have a diesel van for work.

I currently have a 2L 16v and have just purchased a VR6. I won't be using it daily but long journeys once a month. I'll be happy with 25 mpg's lol. I get 44 out of the ABF if I drive nice but as these chaps stated, that's boring!!!

i have an abf,
i can roughly sqeexe £57-60 in it by filling up the filler neck, I do 350 miles a week and a whole tank will last me average of 320 miles,

so roughly
42.8 litres = 9.4 gallons

320 / 9.4 = 34 mpg,

my daily run includes some town, an A road blat, then a long twisty B road, most days i drive average but then there are the days when i like to give a boot full & will see as low as 22mpg
i have got the on board readout to get to 40mpg but with the calculatore its only ever 37-38mpg....
