Long Haul! 410 miles outta 1x tank? Yey or ney?

Interesting thought. I think you're probably right although I suspect there's very little sediment to start with. I volunteer someone to cut their tank open to find out lol

This topic's just reminded me I need to change my fuel filter, it's done 141k miles on the original I think, there's no service invoice that says it's been changed

28,000+ litres of fuel used or £36,000

Take the train - it will be cheaper and quicker!

Bloody hell lol.

That would be 23mpg so probably about right.
I worked it out to 42770 Litres at 15mpg, £57,312

yeah I did 23mpg as I thought it was mixed driving - of course, if that 141k is hooning it everywhere... :

You'll never do it with the obligatory anti carbon trip to the red line... Officer

[Markmyatt7]

I did a trip from Birmingham to Winchester once and stuck to a very boring 60 mph and managed 28mpg. No fun though.

Remember - when saving fuel, cruise control is your enemy.

I quite often travel from the South to NW Wales, I can only make fuel saving mode last until about 5 miles up the M40. It's just too dull siting on the inside lane.

Best I've managed is around 350 to a tank with about 15 miles left on the trip, this was made up from 60/40 Motorways and Welsh A roads.
