I would get yours checked.

I get about 270 from full to completely empty.

Of course mine is what is should be - But obviously depends on how you drive. But you are looking at around 27MPG.

For the first six months of Scooby ownership I only ever used to get around 220 miles a tank (using Optimax/Tesco 99). Nowadays I get around 260-300. I can only assume I've calmed down a bit

MY00 btw.

So you're not using the turbo at all then? and only doing motorway mileage?

rfowler - 220miles is about right for around town, same as mine, which is tek3'd and about 265bhp. Tek3 remap doesn't seem to affect the mileage at all though, in fact its slightly better I reckon.

220 - 240 miles to the tank, 320 bhp MY00, but most of the miles are to work and back, only 3 miles away so the engine never really gets hot.
