My first tank during running in, 38.38litres @ 132.9p = £51.01. I done 216 miles before having to fill up and this works out at 25.59 mpg. Thought I would have got closer to 30 mpg or was I being optimistic? .

 

Thats not too bad at all!

 

 

I always hope it's more than that myself, never work it out as I'd be too sad !! My petrol warning light bug's me as it seems to come on anywhere between just under a 1/4 of a tank to last line itself

 

You only put 38 litres in but then drove until what level? Light on? Previous level?

To fill the tank at that price (assuming you have the fill light on at the start), would be £60 + for a 50 l tank or near £80 for a 60l.

Travelled 218 miles, that works out at about 20 mpg or at worst 17 mpg

 

Glad I just sold my Subaru with mpg like that!

 

I worked it out on a proper conversion table not on a piece of paper so it's closer to a proper figure than what you'r thinking. Back to same level as my light doesn't come on. It would be closer to your figures it the tank was on the bottom line and I got that mileage.

 

How dare you, piece of paper! it was a bloody abacus

 

Abacus !! Poser, Slab of rock here and a Mammoth's tooth !!

 

I do apologise

 

thats pretty good i get about 170 180 miles until i get down to just below 1/4 mark which usually means i have about 2 gallons left or approx another 30/40 miles average driving on a 57 plate sti ppp running about 320 bhp

 

25mpg..........................those were the days.I get 19 now if im lucky

 

Thats the level it was at when I filled up, I feel better now. It is better than before the engine was rebuilt so thats a result.
just had a thought, your tank is bigger than mine isn't it.??

 

I get around 200 miles per fill up, usually fill up at 1/4 of a tank.

 

I'm doing good then especially as I got the smaller tank in my car.

 

You may of put 38L in but you would of have to use approximately used 51L (presuming you have a standard 60L tank) to get the fuel light to come one.

Soooooo 51L is 11.21 Gallons, 216 miles divide by 11 gallons = 19.36MPG.

 

Nope my light didnt come on as I said in previous reply, I just took it back to just under the 1/4 mark where it was when I filled up.

 

I can get 320 miles to a full tank.

 

When ever I have done part tank calcs it never works out, I tried it with my old mondeo and I could only get reliable calcs from full tanks.

 

I remember you saying that before, I dont want to run it so low that it will run out as I am pretty sure the light doesnt work.

 

I've had 32mpg on long runs without too much foot down over taking, on track I might manage 8mpg, normal driving about 20mpg, it all depends on the right foot :-)

 

This was on alot of single track twisty through forestry roads up and down box constantly as I have to watch my revs at the moment.

 

Dont forget your on low revs at the min Rich. Will drop a bit when your on full power. Im getting between 280-300 per tank. Empty line to empty line.

 

Yeah you got a point there, have to wait till boost is up and I can drive it properly.

 

Around the late 20's on a run in the R about as good as it gets in a scoob I recon

 

I get 20 if I am lucky! , and tthats driving sensilbly

 

 

depends on yer right foot...

When I picked up the Scooby in Penzance I was following her indoors, nearly always off boost, maximum of 60mph real easy driving to let her keep up...put £30 in and still had just under 1/4 tank left when I arrived back here in Pontypool.

on the other hand....filled the car up completely (about £70) in Pontypool and drove quite spirited to the NEC and back and emptied the tank, the light was on when I hit Ponty again..

I think good consumption is possible if you do the "driving miss daisy" method

 

I fill mine to the Brim and run it down to a quarter of a tank and probably get around 180-200 miles.

 

Thats what I do, don't like running them to the death.
