Glad i read those i thought i had a leak! Only had mine couple of months so i'm still getting used to the fuel bill. My low fuel warning light comes on at 1/4 tank and i thought it was early.

computer says i'm getting 330 miles to a full tank. Also my instantaneous mpg reading is all over the place, goes from 4 mpg :cry: to 278!!!:D Anyone elses do that?:wtf:

Yeah it will do, foot down on mine and it goes to 6mpg then coasting along and it shoots upto 200 odd mpg. I get around 300 miles to a full tank averaging only 26 mpg at the mo but then it has been remapped!

I must be different aswell as ive never had over 240 miles to a full tank , and where I work is about 4 miles roughly from home , 8 miles round trip , yeah there is a little bit of the loud pedal thrown in for good measure , I always use BP ultimate , are u guys who use optimax gettin a better deal than me , if i remember when I had awesome remap it I wasnt very clued up so If I remember rightly they did it to 98 ron , no other mods on it apart from panel filter .

Could there be something wrong with my LCR or am i just panicking after reading all ur quotes on mileage ?:confused:

i'm using optimax in mine. It doesn't seem to give such an improvement in the cupra than it did in my old astra over 95 RON fuels tho.

I use Sainsburys Super in mine to get over 300 to a tank.

I think the unknown variable in all these figures, is how much of LOUD pedal people use, how much exactly is put my foot down a bit, or little bit of loud pedal??

A tank range can vary upto figures of 100-200miles in some instances :whistle: so how people drive has a massive effect on the tank range.

Christ, I must drive Miss Daisy everywhere :think:

Just an update from my original post.

Unfortunately, it turns out that my Leon is not magical, and the fuel gauge is now dropping at quite a hearty rate. It will be interesting to see how many miles I get to my first full tank! (As you can imagine, I've been, umm, "experimenting" with the throttle over the last few days...)

Get a Polo I experiment with throttle daily and i still get 300miles to the tank. All you have to do is go round the corners too fast :scary: and you get the kinda rush that makes up for a sedate 0-60.
