I've Just Got 515 Miles From a Tank!!
Staggering really ...... and I have a 50 litre tank too!!
I used to get about 230 miles from 60 litres ... But this mod has transformed things ... amazed, shocked and pleasantly surprised! You want to know what I did - don't you? I bought a Honda Civic Diesel ... 340Nm of Torque ... but 50+ miles per gallon And the car only has 525 miles on it ... can only get better! :thumb: |
glad ure liking the new toy, if only scoobs could be like that lol
|
So did you sell the classic or have you kept it....
|
Good on ya Pete, glad the Civic is to your liking. I reckon you be back in a Scooby at some point.
|
lol!
Suprised you did not nod off due to shear boredom :D |
I get that from the Astra :D nearly got 600 out of it on a run to scotland and back ;) there is a little more to go yet Pete :D
Tony:) |

No need to wet yourself Mr lewis.....welcome to the modern age where just about every meduim size hatch back diesel does 500 to the tank...........

Pah, 500 miles out of a 40 litre tank here. Keep going Pete!
|
I assume you were taking it over 3000 rpm for such a lacklustre total :o
|

Pete are you sure about the tank size?
You spent a LONG time on here deluded that your Scooby had a 45 litre tank ;) |
I was happy to get 300 miles from my 58 litre tank!!!
I do have a 3.0 V6 though :( |
Can't fault the civic for its penny-pinching virtues, but 230 miles from 60 litres is atrocious mileage from a totally stock UK turbo, particularly for an owner who self-admittedly drove everywhere like a granny :eek:
BTW Pete, I notice there was a distinct absence of road-tax increases in last weeks mini-budget - I'll be expecting your cheque in the post imminently ;) cheers Mark |

Whatever is said .... you cannot argue against the intelligence of someone who selects a car which returns 500+ miles for 50 Litres ... especially when you enjoy more torque than a Scooby! :thumb:
Time has moved on, I've moved with it :D |

A surf board, or perhaps on the board of directors? Or maybe you meant bored?

Matteboy, I usually only get 200 miles per tank :(
I just queue in traffic and only get 17mpg to and from work :( |
