how far on a tank off fuel

hypermobilty · 27th April 2011, 19:43

just wondering guys and girls how far i can travel on a full tank off fuel

in a 1.4 ivetc
im hopeing around 500 miles hopefully

rowbo · 27th April 2011, 19:47

I think your about right at 500 miles ! I can get around 400 out of mine when driving sensibly and cruising in 6th gear

Andy_K · 27th April 2011, 19:52

Oooh dear... i feel the deisel owners will surface shortly with their 100+mpg

I've got 1.8 and get around 350 miles (all town, no motorway). If I drive like an undertaker I can achieve 450 miles, I would expect you to get similar sort of figures.

My range wizard thingy is telling me I can go another 560 miles on my full tank of weasel.

wellhouse · 27th April 2011, 20:29

not being economical (if you know what i mean) i get about 460-470 just as the reserve light comes on in the 2.2 diesel, never risked seeing how far i can get on reserve, i'm not that brave.

hypermobilty · 27th April 2011, 21:41

ive got a long trip thisweekend just under 500 miles all motorway
so hopefully ill be ok

coste1l · 27th April 2011, 21:43

Iget 200 million miles from a litre of recycled plastic. Or 400 miles roughly whichever seems more likely

My fuel light comes on when the range drops to 40 miles.

Rowbo is right for his type r, 400miles if you drive very eco. Me im hard push to get 300 from a tank.

Sounds like you are being doubly hopeful there.

Actually this is something i havent tried....other than look at the range when i brim the tank..which i cant remember what it says now...might be around 500 miles.
I will need to conduct a wee experiment to find out, but will probably take a few weeks because i only cover around 100 miles in a normal week.

500 mile round trip ?
to be invited in for coffee...

After driving to Pembrokshire on Saturday and then Brecon on Sunday averaged about 55mpg on both days. My trip is at 458 miles and computer says 80 miles left so not too bad.

Would like a remap to see if I can boost this a little. £2 per litre isn't too far away I fear.

CCC · 28th April 2011, 13:02

I'm getting around 250 miles from my car, thats alot or around town driving and doing 21mpg.

J. Derek Riddell · 28th April 2011, 14:25

1.8 i-VTEC ...

Over the last 3 fill-ups, I've averaged some 39 mpg, but the speed limits are very low here ...

That's stop \ start, plus some motorway commuting, shopping trip at weekend, etc. ...

On long European road trips, I can do a good bit better (45 mpg in Norway), but the lure of Swedish \ Danish \ German motorways is just too much ! (but never dropped below 30 mpg) ...

p.s. - for those who want to convert from the European Litres per 100 Km ("E") format to UK MPG ("U") format, or the other way, use this formula ...

282.481 (Constant) / "E" = "U"
282.481 (Constant) / "U" = "E"

Hence, my 7.3 Litres per 100 Km becomes 38.7 mpg ...

Mang0 · 28th April 2011, 15:14

Have fun with your trip.

1.8 petrol
mostly dual carriageways, i get around 360 from a full tank before the light comes on.
i'm hoping to reach 400 with my current tank load

davrob1 · 28th April 2011, 21:02

i got 530 miles out of my 2.2 on a tank 2 weeks ago,mostly all motorway,reckon i could have got 600 out of it but i got bored trying to be easy on the throttle
