Miles to a tank

[Hayz]

Just wondering what your average miles to a tank is?

I've got the 2.0l 8v and the most I've had is 320 out of £40. Last time I filled up it was £35 (40litres) and it only got 270.

They were a fun 270miles but its not really that econmical. lol

i get about 280 - 300 to roughly £36 (mines 16v)

I've been putting in £25 of shell unleaded and getting about 135-140 miles back!

Doesn't sound that great but it must be down to the stop start nature of my journey!. 20 mile round trip with about 6 miles in heavy traffic.


I have achieved 43mpg + on longer trips!

Get around 32 mpg when driven locally (330 from a tank) , but goes to 40mpg (400 +) on a long trip at around 75mph. Mine's a rechipped 8v.

£20 = about 150miles on average for me

Works out about 13p a mile

Much better on motorway trips at sensible speed.


Have a look at the trip comp on MPG for the first 5mins ya driving, MPG is doubled for at least 2mins, so take it easy until warmed up.

on 20quid i get between 200-250 miles outta a tank, but i have a 1.4

Damn you all. I fill up from when the light comes on till full, so that's about £35. And I get...............around 220 miles. Damn 16v, why does it have to be sooo much fun to drive it like you stole it . Saying that, about 2/3 of the tank is used up by commuting on the motorway at 80, which theoretically should be quite economic.

Iv never really taken note but i think i will reset my totals next time i go fill her up!!! lol

when i picked mines up from england > scotland 2 weeks ago i managed to get nearly 350 miles out of £30! i was amazed, it was hitting 45.2mpg at one point on the M1 north

around town i get about 22>25mpg

mixed journey has always worked out about 30-33mpg, which i can live with as i dont drive for a long period of time or to and from work!

 

[jenk]

I get 220 miles, everytime i fill her up

My journeys are pretty mixed between motorway and town and i get about 75miles to a £10 (im a student so i only fill up £10 at a time to keep to a budget )

Start work full time in Sept which is a scary thought, Uni has gone so quick. What uni you at?

 

[jamiepyrite]

I've actually no idea! I'd like to wait until the light comes on for filling up, but with my dashboard lighting problems I have a feeling that light doesn't come on! I shall check the milage next time I fill a full tank.


How do you measure your Mpg so accurately?!

 

[Hayz]

There is an MPG counter the some of the cars

Mine hasn't gone over 29mpg so far on this tank.

 

[chris285]

everytime i fill up i reset my counter, tells me how much i get from what i put in so its fairly easy to work out

16v on £45 (optimax) varies between 190 & 320 depends on travel

ouch thats nasty

i wonder why i am looking at a tdi 130 mk4 as my next car lol

i will miss my mk2 though, i walk round the corner and see it and its still one of my fav looking cars

 

[Hayz]

The petrol munching isn't a massive problem, just I thought it was going to be more econmical. lol

Love it though - Wouldn'y change it for the world.
