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.

I not owned my 130 for too long and ive filled up since buying it and have yet to use the fuel.
Done about 370 miles and a 1/4 of a tank to go

The main reason of changing to a TDi and only £120 for tax a year too  :wink:
