Well I made it,

413 miles on 1 tank of petrol, my calcs make that 38 MPG, although my MFA said it was 33.2.
Still well within the redline when I filled up, I reckon I had another 5 litres of fuel left (I'm pretty sure my tanks 55 litres) So I could have done another 40 miles.

The fuel gauge is great all the way to half a tank then it's up and down like a swingometer.

Almost great news, only broken when half way through filling up I noticed the cost per litre 93.9!! a jump of 8p in a week :(

I got 150 miles out of £20 commuting to work which is only a 12 mile round trip also with a strong smell of fuel coming throught vents and sunroof!

On longer trips can get much more out of it.

chris8valve, you are getting a strong smell of fuel coming throught vents and sunroof! I also have this problem and several others who post on this forum. Can someone please help. I have absolutely no trace of a fuel leak anywhere, I have checked everywhere. I have replaced the fuel filler cap and checked every fuel connection.

When i got the car 36mpg was the average, 1 K&N and a stainless exhaust later and i am down to 33mpg!  :evil:

Not sure if its less efficient or if i am just listening to that lovely exhaust note more!  :grin:
