I must be getting old

[squeekyduck]

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...

amazing... i struggle to get 350kms out of a tank...

Dave

yep!! and got 570km out of a tank last week. rolled into the petrol station after driving a good 100km with the light on!

 

[Monkfish]

How far can you go with the light on? I've done 20-30 miles before and had the needle way under the empty mark :homer:

 

[Starlet_Sam]

My record is 350ish miles in a convoy to Le Mans last year. Fully on fumes.

 

[dazer]

I running pretty low, I have just done 607 KM on one tank. The needle is well below the empty line, I hope I make it to a petrol station in the morning or I might be late for work

Late reply but ditto - I went from Le Mans to my house in Surrey on a single tank of petrol...and 5mi or so the petrol station the next day

LOL.............

i admit i like to use the throttle quite heavily even if im not taking it to high revs... could be my style of driving..... this is why im poor since ive got the car back, all my £££ goes to the fuel :homer: It doesnt like short journeys thats the thing, and i do alot of them.....

damm im jealous of you all (apart froms tarlet 3sgte) i only get over 200miles on motorway driving when im going to southampton and back.
During the week doing 30-40ish i get just under 200miles if i put it in "power mode" even less!! its depressing that bens is more economical than mine too lol

 

[rb69]

Think I've had 250 kilometers out of mine with 3 quarters of a tank before the petrol light came on. Not really been trying for economy as it seems pretty good anyway!
