Post by: T_J_G on 07 October 2009, 14:31: This is a silly thread. If I empteid your tank and only put 4.7l in you would not get 110 miles away from me. That works out as nearly 100MPG doesn't it?!

As mentioned at JKM, first half of the tank goes slowly, then the second half flies. I get the same on my gti from 1/2 to 1/4 tank, it just disappears!
