That's a daily commute of 14 miles on country roads - no motorways.

60litre tank on mine, averaging 28.7 to be precise.

Ran it low last night - low tank light came on - only managed to put in 51.4 litres so still plenty left !!

I got about 320 miles out of my last tank in my bugeye (mostly steady motorway driving).

Im sure Pslewis has managed much more than this though!

Normally more like 200 to a tank around town

Don't worry about MPG. you didn't buy it because it was fuel friendly!

Filled mine up this lunchtime - £49.50 worth of Optimax.

I once drove from Glasgow to Sheffield - stayed at a steady 75mph on the motorway and got there with a quarter of a tank spare. Think it's about 330 miles.

Wasnt quite so economical on the way back up the road though!
