Waitey Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Cost of your last tank and miles covered please. None of the I put £30 in a did 4 miles hero rubbish please! Official figs say around 25mpg combined. So do you make that? Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 On a long run (Mainly motorway) I can get about approx 400 miles to a tank. On average I think I get about 300-350 miles to a tank depending on how I drive. My MPG seems to be on 23mpg (+ or - 1) most of the time If I drove every where like I stole it then it would be a lot less Quote
cesc Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Currently getting 200 miles to a full tank at a shade under £70. I drive an RX-8 though! Quote

Tank Capacity x Cost per ltr = Roughly how much Quote
Ian Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 My last tank was about 160-170 miles from fill up to red light Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I generally fill up as soon as I can after reaching 1/4 of a tank, the most I think I have ever put in is £85. I would say the average for me is about £65-£70. I have always put Shell Optimax or Tesco 99RON in my Tank As the Tax has now gone up I guess you can add a £5 to all the above figures Quote

Tank Capacity x Cost per ltr = Roughly how much It matters to give a closer representation of fuel consumption. You never fill from bone dry empty though. I think the red light will come on when there is about 9/10 litres left. So i'm guessing a average fill will be 50-60 litres? Quote
doctor austin Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I usually put in £80 worth (£131 a litre here!) and The trip computer reads on average 26 mpg but can go to 28 if I take it easy and 18 when i really give it some...not sure what I get per tank full. Overall I have concluded I dont drive the Zed to conserve £££ I drve it cos its real fun. Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 My last tank was about 160-170 miles from fill up to red light But you had some tasty extras bolted on to your engine Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 £131 a litre here! Glad I don't fill up at your local station Quote
Ian Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 My last tank was about 160-170 miles from fill up to red light But you had some tasty extras bolted on to your engine My car is stock Quote
dyla350z Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 From empty a uk z will cost £104 to fill with optimax,i get about 22mpg avg i get about 320miles out of a tank but fill up with 3-4 gallons from empty Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 My last tank was about 160-170 miles from fill up to red light But you had some tasty extras bolted on to your engine My car is stock So its still on the red light then Quote
drivebyabuser Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Computer saying 16 odd mpg. I put £80 in it and got about 200 miles but it was just on the red light. I do all urban driving, commuting etc. I think a full tank from brimming to empty should hit 250 miles. Mine is chipped + Spacer. Only had it a month and i am still "enjoying" driving it. Quote
Neilp Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 The last time i filled it cost me 95quid and I got 230miles of mixed driving Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Right see if this helps this is the data from my phone, its off the software i use for logging in all my fuel fill ups the data was taken between 11/12/2009 - 30/04/2010. i don't own the zed anymore and prices have since changed but should give you a good idea. distance between fillups average = 264.85 miles max = 468.00 miles min = 67.00 miles last = 106.00 miles fuel economy average = 24.40 mpg best = 31.08 mpg worse = 20.29 mpg last = 23.35 mpg fuel prices average = 1.18 p per litre max = 1.25 p per litre min =1.11 p per litre last = 1.25 p per litre fill-up costs average = £59.49 max = £88.90 min = £14.48 last = £88.90 average cost per mile = £0.335 maximum cost per mile = £1.272 minimum cost per mile = £0.041 last cost per mile = £0.839 fuel amounts total = 710.57 L average = 50.76 L max = 73.45 L min = 12.94 L last = 71.12 L fuel expense total = £832.92 last year = £646.94 Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks stato You guys need to say if you have UK or JDM cars... BIG difference in fuel tank size Also some of us use our Zed for commuting some use them for hooning around Quote
Androo Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 24.5mpg for me all the time really... no motorway driving Quote

BIG difference in fuel tank size Also some of us use our Zed for commuting some use them for hooning around was i too detailed mine was mixed driving; some of those miles were on track some motorway, some hooning.

doctor austin Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 My JDM has the same tank size as the UK Zed...£80 is when the gauge reads just under half.....even the jap manual states (its the only bit that I can read!!) the same size as UK Quote
