70 litre tank

Edit after above post!: 70 litres is what some report to get in with the "lever" trick.

This is very subjective as some people fill up to the normal point, others finger the hole and get a little exra bit in, then some people fill up when the warning comes on whilst others do it sooner.
I only fill to the normal level and fill up before the warning comes on. I get about 190 - 210 miles to a tank so you lot must drive like miss daisy. When I fill up I normally get around 54 litres in so i get about 200 miles for 54 litres.

I'm with mikefish, I don't usually get more than 200 to a tank unless I go long distance motorway driving.
Maybe you get better fuel economy from avants as they are slower........ :assflash:

You can get more bodies in the back of an Avant though :biggrin2:

For comparison I usually get 200-310 Miles out of an 85 liter tank on my RS6 depending on how I'm driving. And I normally get 80 liters in when I fill up.
