Seen 300 miles once in 15 months. I'm convinced it would do 400 tho on a long unbroken motorway run

180 miles is the most I have got from mine and thats generally sensible town driving with a few blasts on more appropriate roads where possible (but that doesnt happen as much as I wish)

When I test drive Nicks (and deposit paid now :) his light came on at 260 I think after lots of country lane driving.

Best I've had is 375 that was on constant motorway driving in France with four adults and luggage, think it would do 400 with air con off and just driver

I've gotten an honest 27-28 mpg (US)
filled up before the reserve light came on, but would have gotten ~400 miles had I not
highway, only the driver, light luggage, cool weather, a/s tires, 41 psi, 70 mph avg speed, pretty level, a few small mountain ranges

IMP gal closer to 480 miles using 15 gal (IMP)

now, short trips <4 miles, stop-go, 225 per tank at best

the mileage the car is getting is a good indicator of the state of tune/efficiency
I don't obsess over it, but just like the fluid levels I check it ocassionally
:D
