300 miles on a tank...

[Asbo Sovfinger]

Just put my second full tank in and have only just crept over 300 miles.  This is mainly short journeys with one motorway journey of about 140 miles.  That sound ok??

Interestingly I only managed to get just over 40 litres into the tank and I thought the tank was 55 litres should I be concerned or have I been reading the wrong literature

confused. .  .

so you've filled two tanks worth and only just got over 300 miles?

or one tank like the subject title says and got over 300?

I never got anymore than 330 miles out of a tank on my 8v to be honest.

Seem to get alot more on Super Unleaded from Tesco rather than the standard stuff.

Got 380 driving to Kettering! Well impressed.

[DrewGTI]

depends how you drive and how well your car/engine is maintained.


i got 360 out of a full tank of just normal unleaded with only a few foot down moments.  but then on the other hand did not much more than 200 on the same tank due to alot more foot downs!!

Haha sh!t I got 160 if I was lucky in my valver!!!

You should try my 5 series, £75 to fill the tank and lucky to see 400 miles.

the pissats averaged 39.4mpg since i got her.....same as my gti really just not quite as much fun!

i get around the same on my 8v. Maybe even less, 270-300. If i drive real carefully i get around 38mpg, but floor it and i see low 20s.

Sorry, I should've said that it's my second full tank but I disconnected the battery between 1st and 2nd tank so couldn't really compare the two in terms of mileage etc.

Sounds like 300's a fair amount then seeing as 90% of the time I drive carefully, but I do have a couple of lovely routes that I drive frequently that I can't help but bring the noise.  Will have to find some more slopes for a bit of free-wheeling perhaps
