well i got my clutch back on tues,so back in went the engine last night.they told me to bed in the new plates so i went to the shell garage as the tank was empty and put £30 of vpower in at £1.22.9,as i have never recorded what my car does to the gallon i set the trip meter,then i went for a steady drive on low boost.after 85miles the tank was empty,now to me that doesnt seem a lot of miles for steady driving.so if theres anyone with a few more brain cells than me wants to work that out for me,then please be my guest.

 

16 mpg

£30 = 24.4 litres = 5.4 Gallons

85 / 5.4 = 15.8 mpg

HTH

dunx

P.S. Almost as bad as mine ! What time at Ferrybridge on Sunday ?

 

Just under 16 mpg mate

 

But "empty" is a variable, I call mine empty as soon as the light comes on...

Cos it soon is !

LOL

dunx

P.S. Arf try this :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_derivative

 

Id be happy with that,

 

16mpg isnt as bad as i thought then.al have to try it on full boost now,givin it some beans and see what that comes up with.something gives me the idea that i wont get very much to that.

 

i just clicked on that link dunx and my brain instantly fried,now i know why i always used to scive maths as a kid.

 

best way to work out your MPG is with a full tank of gas, then take note of how many miles you have done and how much its took to refill the tank.

 

Bleedin ell Arf, who's gonna follow you to Nurburg Mr Shell Tanker Driver lol.

Gunning it I predict 6mpg haha

 

i thought about a towbar with a small tanker fixed to it so i can fill up every half hour.

 

Hell, mine managed 6 mpg at a mere 390-ish...

dunx

 

Eeerrrrrrrrrr, that'd be the fastest tanker on earth then, when we hit the autobahn's

haha, oh dear, is it possible to do nearly 0 mpg

 

As Arf, he's the closest... although I managed 11 mpg down the M1 yesterday !
