maybe mine reads miles now :confused:

i think it was squeekyduck who managed to get 607 and 600 out of two tanks in a row... with a full exhaust more boost and a few cold starts...

Bollocks, they ran out of petrol after 200 miles and you pushed them the rest of the way :p

I'm lucky to see 200 miles out of a tank, but then I'm not too shy with the loud pedal :homer:

I have a long comute on the motorway so I hardly do a journey shorter than 75 miles. Most of it would have been cruising with the occasional fun blasts but I try to get 500 KM out of every tank before I fill up. Some time I get no where near this if I am having fun

Two reasons for getting the high miles this time was one, because my exhaust cam off straight after the down pipe and it was quite loud so I took it easy. The boost was going mad when I hammered it without the exhaust over 15psi. The other reason was I couldn't be bothered to fill up when the fuel light first flashed on so I drove about 75 miles with the light on

I got about 37 Litres of juice in. I rarely fill up before the needle has gone below the empty line and I brim it so the fuel is right up to the cap this is a few more litres than if you stop filling when the pump cuts in

I got 310 miles and the light had just come on recent trip to Cornwall from Surrey. I think I could get more if i was even more gentle. You guys must drive like loons to only get 200 miles to a tank!!!!!

i get about 50mpg each week out of the little starlet. All about driving off boost and waiting for the right time to have some fun..

I filled up last night with V-Power again, got 215 miles off the last tank though. It's supposed to give you better economy, which certainly seems the case, but the extra price you pay for it doesn't offset it enough. Still, I seem to be getting more and more out of her all the time.
