Talking

Sorry to be boring and repetitive. I just had to post this.

I've read about the mythical 300+ miles on a single tank but never thought it possible. After a year of ownership I consistently achieve 220-240 per 50ltr.

Spent the last 2 days driving aound the Peak District, and since the missus was with me I took it very easy (sub 3000 rpm). As a result I got 315 miles before the light came on. Amazing. On top of that, the tank of Optimax was the cheapest I'd had for a while at 79.9p/ltr.

Back to 'normal' driving now though.

MY00 PPP.

Sorry Baby, that was on my way up to the Peaks, just outside London (A41). Bit far for you to travel, even at that price.

broken gauge here too
I fill up near half way just to be safe, 300 miles to a tank is impossible for me I think I was averaging 150 maybe 200 at a push
