Title: Great mpg!
Post by: SpearMintTom on 13 May 2007, 21:30: Was going down to brighton, drove round the corner and the car was so low on fuel it literally cut out and rolled into the forecourt! LOL

Anyway.. filled up with just Ã‚£25 exactly lol drove all the way down to brighton on friday, then over the weekend did a small amount of driving maybe 30 miles, then was running on the very bottom of the orange in the fuel tank (empty again) and filled up with Ã‚£25 so i put Ã‚£50 into the car over the weekend and I did exactly 404 miles on this.

that works out at 48 miles to the gallon! - had my cambelt changed two weeks before and hadnt used the car since.. - boy has it made a big difference (the previous cambelt was slipping alot and it was completely out of time)

:grin:
