350? and the cost all depends on the price of the fuel you're putting in.
all Golf tanks held the same volume of fuel. 12 gallon 55 litres.

Depends on what journey you're doing too. Motorway cruising its easy to get over 300 and still have 10 litres left. Driving around town though and u can take 100 miles off. Well, thats my car anyhoo.

Is an ecotek a worthwhile purchase?
