well as the title really, i decided to test my starlet, average i normally get is about 280 to 300 out of a tank, mixed variety of driving and 50% motorway 50% dual carriageway, fw days ago i decided to see how much i will get out of a full tank, so i decided to stick to the speed limits, no red lining, no power runs, just carefull driving to see what the tank will return, must admit i did have 2 small blasts where i floored it but not longer than few seconds..
anyway this morning i pulled into shell garage with my fuel needle just at the bottom of the E mark, must point out the low fuel light had not come on yet, and i didn't really want it to go into reserve hence why i pulled in to fill up, my last fill up was 3 days ago and i filled right to the brim.
so moment of truth i managed to squeeze 354.5 miles out of the tank, and yet did not hit the reserve, i might have been able to squeeze 10 or so miles moree from the tank but did not want to risk getting crap from the bottom of the tank into fuel lines..
have done a complete service with exception of chagnging fuel filter, will be doing that soon and then retest to see how much i get then...
