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

I average 300 miles per tank (before the yellow warning light comes on. It costs me between £45-50 to refill to the brim. Oh! And the car is an 03 WRX.

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!
