How many miles to a full tank ?

[Kie183]

i got like 280 for about 30 quid's worth of petrol, dunno if its just my driving though, kinda wish i got a tad more.......

 

[Dillan G]

How much did it cost you a full tank ?

 

[Kie183]

umm not sure not tried yet, 30 quid like doesnt brim it , but i dunno how to "vent " lol so dunno how much they can takee

 

[Dillan G]

i think its a 45 liter tank so i think its about 45 full

 

[Kie183]

ouch as a student i fear spending lots of money on petrol haha

 

[Dillan G]

Same thing as me im also a student my window just droped today so thats another cost it got stuck down the door ..

 

[Kie183]

aww that sucks, ive worked my whole damn summer to pay for my car lol, but shes worth it

 

[Dillan G]

[Kie183]

yeah my mates punto can suck it their all jealous lol

 

[Dillan G]

defo and corsa seat ibiza are pretty original what you going to do to yours ? doing any mods ?

:My Dad drove mine to work and back for a week, isn't really a slow driver, driving from Newbury to Marlborough (mixture of town and B road), managed to get 54MPG average..

you don't need to drive like a Rover driver to be economical, keep going the same speed you are now, just keep the revs lower, smooth gear changes, avoid unecessary braking (use engine braking) etc.. makes a HUGE difference!

Same reason I got an mine for a first car as well, all my mates in their corsas and me in something completely different, does annoy me though sometimes when I tell people what i've got and they're like what's that? ........

It does really help if you don't have anything stupidly heavy in the back as well for fuel economy. Removing rear wiper+motor... weight saving for pros

 

[uzi_cupra]

is yours a cupra or just a normal one ?

I have a cupra tdi and also an ibiza 1.2,its one of my old cars

 

[stezo2k]

hmmm maybe i shoud get my old 1.2 checked, then again ive not driven it in almost 8 months, been off the road...will find out next week

i'd highly recommend it it seems to have made a big difference to my car. even feels nippier too, only thing is now i speed too much

 

[OggTDIFR]

I only get 250 miles to a full tank in my stadard PD130

 

[stezo2k]

theres no way that could be right, maybe on the petrol cupra/fr but not the diesel

 

[OggTDIFR]

Yeah something must be up, it's only reading 24mpg on the trip computer.

 

[knight85]

ouch...somrthing very wrong there....

i got 500 miles to my tank this week!...averaged 60mpg for whole tank

Right that's it I'm going diesel next time

 

[knight85]

Right that's it I'm going diesel next time

hahaha,

that is one big advantage with it..usually get between 430-500 from a tank and thats driving normally (in that not ragging it at every traffic light but also not crusing at 30 in national speed limits)..but going to devon next week so will see what i get if i drive 70mph for a long journey..
