i get over 500 miles from my remapped 130 and heavy foot which at last fill cost me £55 for 48 litres of the premium diesel

basing it on today's current prices £20 should get you around 200 miles or so

way i look at it £10 = 100 milesor thereabouts

HTH  :smiley:

I get about 80-90 miles to every £10 casual driving and giving it some stick now and then.
If i tried hard enough and poddled around in 6th and free wheeled, i'm sure I'd get about 110 miles.

They are awesome cars, they handle like a pram on stilts but once the suspension is sorted they're
awesome.

be very careful comparing mpg from petrol to diesel cars nowadays - with the 16p/l difference. its like 15% more fuel if you use a petrol.

you can get 40mpg out of a 1.8t that is chaeper to buy than a tdi

going by 100 miles to a tenner thats about 48 mpg (1000/105 = 9.5/4.54=2.1... 100/2.1 = 47)

and if you think about it 40mpg to 48mpg is about 15%!!!

clever oil companies we have isnt it..

this is coming from a red diesel, diesel, bio diesel, lpg and waste oil EX user.
