Miles per tank?
« on: 14 May 2010, 07:11 »
I'm sure this has probably been done before, but it'll be interesting to see what the regulars get.
I'm not talking about MPG - I'm talking about how many miles you get out of your tank when you fill up until you refill.
No diesel comments please  :wink:

I put in £63 of Optimax a couple of days ago which was almost exactly 50L of petrol.  On my clock I had 277 when I reset it.
About 200 of those miles were driven round the highlands with a pretty heavy foot.  The rest were start / stop town miles.

Yep I have had 450 out of mine also. But like you said 500 is do-able. Would require some long motorway journeys though :nerd:

320 odd miles on a usual tank which is me driving hard.  on a week where i'm doing motorway driving it will push 400 miles, but this is not my norm.  its basically every 6 days that i have to fill up if i don't have any other journeys to do (which is not helpful and useless information!!)  :smiley:

4 laps of the Ring was what I got out of the last tank full of fuel (78 euro's worth of 100 octane fuel) in Germany, this was about 80 miles with cool down and coffee runs :evil:

Computer average said 9.2 mpg  :grin:
