how many miles do you get to a full tank?

Oh I dunno... on LPG it's possible to get 16mpg whilst towing - factor in the cheaper fuel costs and that's an effective 32mpg.... whilst towing a 2 tonne trailer and 4 people's dive kit. Not to be sneezed at
 
600 miles on a full tank. Over the last 2000 miles I averaged 31.5 mpg; best was 32.3 on 'proper' diesel, worst was 29.3 mpg on a 25% mix with svo (at 90p a litre). I am now trying 50% svo. I have an 89 litre / 19.5 gallon tank
 
Just calculated mine I'm on 23mpg mixed driving, got 270 out of the first half driving down the M6 at 65/70 then 146 out of the other half driving round town


Filled up with a new tank + some 2stroke so hoping I'll get some extra MPG from that

it does about the same mpg as my rx7 which is a 2.6 twin turbo... it needs a damn good service and maybe new injectors as it smokes like a bitch when you start it in a morning
 
Mine smokes when its hot, smells like theres something dead in the backbox mixed with wood smoke so I presume a mouse may have made its home in there when it was parked up for a few days :eek:

Oh well………...
 
I get about 450 normally, which is just under 25mpg. With 2" lift and ATs

Probably about 75% town 25% motorways.
 
300tdi i get 450 from full to red light whish leaves about 8literes in tank, standard, with decat, egr removed.


just turned pump up so guna see what happens now
 
I agree WLM as long as you're having fun driving it alls good. Last thing I'm doing to try and save a bit of fuel is to put a leccy fan in and remove the viscous one after that I'll be done as I know that once the winch bumpers and tank guard are on it'll be dropping by another few MPG.


I liked driving my old polo but that was for a different reason, it was nippy and on the backroads it was like a go-kart but the disco is much better


One thing though, I have taken to driving slower recently with the new tyres, reducing my speed from 65 to 55 seems to have helped a lot on single carriageways as has dropping from 85 to 70 on the m'way :eek:
