Mine has dropped from 400 + to a tank down to 300 ish :( hopefully its a one off and will go back to normal. Never know a 1.2 to have a drinking problem like that before tho scott.

recently decided to see how many i could get out of my FR TDi (standard) and driving sensibly with a few pushes here and there saw me get 350 miles from full to about 25 miles left on reserve (displayed by trip computer)

i'm guessing if i don't push it at all and drive sensible all the time i can see over 400 miles...but that'll never happen ;)

getting remap soon so will report after that to note differences

Nicky - Thats roughly what I get at the moment. Roughly how many litres do you take from red light to fill up?

I have just done 263 miles, and just gone past half a tank :D

erm...nowadays at 109/110 per ltr it's like £47/48 i've filled up from 15 miles left...so i would say roughly 45ltrs is full tank from absolute zero :shrug: the above calculates to under 43ltrs, so i wouldn't be far off with my estimate

wish i had a Leon's 50 ltr tank as my cousin gets around 450 miles out of his FR+ TDi, and that's with some welly as well

:blink:I get just below 300 miles from my 1.2, thats from about 40-42 litres ( i never run it dry)
That's a mixture of urban and general, although is mostly stop start town work :blink:

i think i could get another 40 miles if i ran it completely dry.

the highest i got in my old mk3 1.4 Chill was 320, and ran it practically dry...but the 3 cylinders in the 1.2's probably affect consumption in higher revs
