270 miles from full tank (22mpg) - anyone else done better??

Post by mbelle » Wed Mar 19, 2008 1:31 pm

I managed 270miles to a full tank of V-Power from my last tank - averaged 22mpg on computer
Completely standard car though, no remap as yet
That's the best I've EVER done; usually get ~220/230miles

Anyone else done better??? I'll be interested to see everyone's, especially remapped cars...

In my B5 S4 with just an MTM remap to ~300BHP I got 180 round town and 350 on the open road.

Since modding it to hell ~500BHP I still get 180 round town, but only 230 on the open road.

Think your results are great though. Is that combined?

Only once did I hit the open road, and that was to attend the North West meet which was ~80miles round trip!
So very pleased with those results

IMHO to still get 180 even after the re-map is pretty good!?

I get 270 miles (give or take 10 miles) on every tank & average 22mpg too! That's spirited driving on the motorway - 50 mile round trip.

I took mine on a round trip to the Monaco Grand Prix last year and averaged 24 mpg for the 2500 mile voyage, negotiating villages, towns, cities, open roads, motorways, Mont Blanc tunnel and even Stelvio Pass.....

Standard car by the way :D

Don't we have 60 litre tanks?

270 miles / 60 litres = 20.5 MPG

Well how about that, although, if I'm honest, when I filled up yesterday from having my wonderful 270miles, it cost me £61 which, at a cost of 107.9p for the Tesco 99 I filled up with this time, by my calculations makes me having put 57 litres in...

Have seen 27mpg when forced to drive like a nun, when traffic was a constant 65-70 along the M4 on a trip through to South Wales.

If I take it easy on the motorway I can get 230 to a tank, if I use boost then it's 170-180, around town closer to 150.

Jesus that cannot be right. On my trips to APS (2.5 hours or so) I can see 29mpg. Round town I average 22mpg.

There again at Brunters my average for the day was 8mpg! :lol:
