Tank range

Post by startrek » Sun Apr 23, 2006 5:27 pm

On a trip to Lancaster last weekend I managed to achieve a very pleasant 320 miles out of one tank at a speed of nearly 80 all the way traffic permitting.


Just wondered if anybody else has managed to achieve this figure?


Normally 210 miles per tank

Cheers :roll:

Startrek - what are you doing, pushing it there by hand? I am achieveing 14.8 MPG, without it even being run in and only going up to 6,000 rpm. The first tank full I put in the computer said I had 220 miles on the tank - oh god !!!

Noticed my average down to 9.7 MPG the other day. Ouch!

Normally average 200 - 250 miles per tank.

Optimax only. Most money to date to fill up is £56.00

Did someone mention running in ?

Do we need to run them in ? (too late now)

I had very similar experiences ... first drive home from Leeds, 300+ :shock: miles, mainly 85/90 on cruise down the motorway ... ever since I seem to be averaging 200-210 8) 8) 8)

managed to get 264 miles when I went to France and that was a mix of motorways and town driving. Didn't think that was too bad.
On the school run I'm gettind just about 17mpg in heavy traffic.

So far getting 11 MPG. Reset the trip when I filled up last time and so far I've done 80 miles and used half a tank. Doh!
