scottsoulby Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 hi all, put in 50 pounds last week and ended up getting 348 miles to it with 42 to go sounds good to me, how much is everyone else getting? Scott Quote
AK350Z Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 well over 400 on the motorway at a "fast cruise" Quote
Martin W Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 223 miles over last few weeks on my current 4.5 mile each way trip to work Quote
Ian Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Stopped taking notice a long time ago but at a guess id say 300ish Quote
xStric9x Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Stopped taking notice a long time ago but at a guess id say 300ish +1 Quote
Ekona Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 If you get more than 200 you're not driving it properly Quote
nixy Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 about 260 for £50 - am i doing something wrong? Quote
nurrish Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 about 260 for £50 - am i doing something wrong? Nothing at all!!!! your just enjoying your self!!!! Quote
nixy Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 wish i was but im actually probably stuck in traffic! What we should do maybe is look at the how many driving hours out of £50, i think that's an option on the pod? Quote
Adriank Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I'm now doing a 30 mile run each way to work, and am on average fillinmg up at about 350 miles gone, with between 50-90 left according to the computer. Much better than i was expecting and much better than my old 1.6 Mini Cooper S lol. Quote

Much better than i was expecting and much better than my old 1.6 Mini Cooper S lol. what mpg u getting? . My short cold engine runs are giving me about 17 !!!! Quote
neodc Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 my engine gets round 450-460 to the tank, thats completely full, always motorway miles, inbetween 70 - 90 mph with the occasional gunning it from roundabouts Quote
mouldie Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 This is a theoretical question, as I'm sure no one has ever done this (or would admit to it!)....... If you sat at 60mph on a motorway for a full tank of fuel, what would you get then? Quote
marzman Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 In this cold weather, and with the cheaper petrol now (i can afford to drive like a tit) im getting 240ish. Can get over 400 when being v.conservative though. Quote
H4rry Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Im going to guess between 200-250... I don't use the car to and from work so its still a big novelty for me every time I get in it at the weekend or evening! (It gets driven properly! ) Quote
Greekman Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Averaged 8.5mpg on the track... Dont think i v ever done more than 250 to a full tank and i am using the expensive stuff now... Quote
Sarnie Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 I think there are massive diffences in one persons "empty" and other peoples. Some people fill up when there is a quarter left, some when the light comes on, others when the ------ comes up. I used to do 500 miles a week in mine and 400+ miles from a full tank before the light came on was very hard to achieve even driving conservatively. I once, out of neccessity, did 360 miles untill the light came on and then 70 miles on the --------- but i had everything turned off and was riding the clutch downhill at every opportunity Quote
nixy Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 still massive differences though between us which really surprises me! Just shows how different journeys are. I put about £50 a week in before the light comes on and only do about 250 a week but then again a 25 mile trip to work usually takes about 45 mins to that says it all! Quote
Wez21 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Not wanting to side step on this post but does anyone actually believe what the mpg displays? Sometimes mine will dsiplay high 60's for a split second, then 20's then steady itself at mid 30's. If i drive with nothing turned on and cruising at 65 i get around 28mpg, if i cruise at around 75 i get around 33mpg? Quote
DJsickboy Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 From full to empty as in the car is flashing at me telling me there are 0 miles left in the tank I get 300. Best yet 360 Worst yet 210 Quote
Shuck Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 This is a theoretical question, as I'm sure no one has ever done this (or would admit to it!)....... If you sat at 60mph on a motorway for a full tank of fuel, what would you get then? BORED? Quote
Stew Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Remember that the JDM tank is smaller than the UK one...... I agree with Sarnie though, I fill up at about a quarter and it varies a lot with the type of driving I do. If you do a 50 mile motorway commute at a steady speed and then fill up with dte 20 then of course you'll get more to a 'tank' than someone who hoons accross the countryside at every oporyunity and then fills up at a quarter.
