550... thats good. Just done 146 on quater of a tank, thats with some heavy right foot action, and town driving.

Guess usual mileage is around 450/500 a tank...

yeh some heavy foot as well as about 45mins of traffic jam on the m25 plus town driving :cry:

i usually do about 450 to a tank....this is a mixture of short and long journeys...longer journeys you can expect up in the 500's....

i find when i fill my tank right up...it takes ages to come off full...usually about 125-150 miles then it drops very quickly hahaha!

I get between 380 and 430 - It really does depend on how i'm driving it.

I do tend to blat down B roads more than motorway cruising so not too suprised it is lower than most other people.

Nobody has mentioned if they're venting the tank when they fill or not - this makes a big difference to the potential range.

If you read that and thought "What's venting?" - a search will reveal all :)

Poor effort, the record is over 700 :D

Venting is the way to go. Takes a bit longer to fill up and it a bit fiddly, but worth it. I can get 700 miles out of one tank if driven easily, but have no problem getting 650 miles at other times. I use Millers Power Sport Diesel 4 as well.

From memory, I've put in about 63 litres in one go.
