What everyone getting?
I filled my tank up.
Did 112.3 Miles, filled it up again (£13.85 @ 90.9p/L)
Works out about 34MPG, this milage was mostly motorway doing about 70/80Mph and about 10 - 20 miles of town driving.
Does that seem reasonable?

:shock: That seems good to me. I get about 27mpg lol, your not driving it hard enough damn it :evil:
Seems fine mate.
I get approx;
44mpg m/way driving at 60/65
34mpg m/way driving at 75/80
29mpg on a normal tank full. Mixed driving but hardly any long m/way runs & too much 'fun' moment haha!
14mpg on track iirc, think I worked it out as that lol!

i like the way you say approx!! :roll:
I get around the 28-30Mpg and that's only town/lane driving. Car very rarely sees 5th gear.
Although now I go a different route to college and have a mile long 6% hill to go up. It's a dual carriageway and I canneh help doing 90 up it lol.
Managed 20.8mpg last week. Ouch.
whats the capacity of the tank that every1 uses to get MPG? i only know what i put in in litres!! in fact why the fook do we still use miles per gallon when the fookin pumps are litres?! have they every been in gallons since i've been alive!!! (1983) the worlds gone mad!!! :D
a gallon is 4.55 litres so work it out from that
i get around 28-30 usually
only got 25 on my last tank though
sweet, never known the conversion u see!! :P
right am fillin up tomos n will report back when tank is empty.......so tomorrow for that n all!! :twisted:
Worked it out to be 29Mpg
Seems about average.

18 mpg mate
Fuel tank leak Plattsy? lol
to 50 litres of petrol i get just over 200miles out of it..... someone wanna work that out lol
around 20mpg
Get up to 380 out of 50 litres as always run to warning light which is usually 5 litres left (reserve tank) and then fill. Only ran out once half mile from petrol station.
Mostly A road use though so 90 tops. Get less when I turn my ecotek off so know that helps in terms of fuel use although no longer getting 400 miles per tank like I used to as more motorway driving at 90mph.
what the hell kind of clio u runnin? 5bhp version?!!!1 :lol:
400 from a tank, i can only dream!!
speakin of which am gonna test this as of tomos, fill her up after work, reset the clock n i'll let u all know how am doin next week!
between 25-30 in my valver, thats mixed driving useing the tesco 99ron shizzle
i get around 280 miles for 40 litres!
works out at just over 31 mpg!
It enough like. seems like im always fillin it up!
:( :roll:

i get about 220 miles for full tank (£60) in my gti- 6....
2 of my friends have gti-6's. Ones selling up because of ridiculous petrol costs. It cost us £80 to get to Bournemouth in it, 3 up 270miles.

Around town I get 250-270 from a tank. Works out about 26mpg I think.
Get quite a bit more on the m-way though, usually over 310-320miles.
Steph's Xsara VTS drinks more fuel though. :P
i put twenty quid in last nite, done 40 miles to work n back n cupla runs and the gauge has gone up 2 bars above half, was one below when i got up this morning after 10 miles done last nite?! :? :shock:
Managed to get an avergae of 34.8Mpg around town this week :D
Can't beat a bit of granny driving, does wonders for your wallet :p
right topped up to same level today as when first filled, cost me a tenner exactly and according to my reciept am getting 11.38 litres for me tenner! so i've used that much to cover 83.5 miles!! bear with me! :lol:
so by the 4.55 litres to the gallon reckoning am getting.........
wait for it.............
33.4 MPG!!
mite not sound much but am out the back end of a rebuild so am floorin it everywhere having fun!! although will admit to 30 miles twice for work and thats motorway but am still impressed! 8)
bump, check out the cost of fuel back in the day!!!
87.9p a litre :(
damn government and their rediculous fuel duty! 115.9 i paid for a litre on thursday
another reason i've resurrected this thread, went to whitby this weekend with the lass, so first proper long trip in the williams really since i bought it and filled the tank from on the light. 50 quid pretty much on the nose it cost me, getting me 43 litres of fuel
checked this morning and i've done 330 miles and got just over 1/4 tank left, so about £10 left, or 8.5 litres, so i've used 34.5litres to cover that mileage
getting me 43.5mpg!! :D
