nixy Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 So far I am on 375 miles from a full tank - the needle is on the bottom line but the fuel light hasn't come on yet. The trip computer says 90km (approx 50 miles) until empty. I don't know how much in money value was in the tank because it was quarter full when I filled it. I did a fair few miles on the motorway though over the weekend which is unusual for me - and my commute (once I get out of traffic) is mainly cruising at 45 - 50mph! I can't believe I really do have 50 miles left in the tank - how accurate is the computer generally? Quote
stuey Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 pretty good i think youl find but keep ur tank topped up.....! Quote
nixy Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Yeah, I know, I was just so tired last night I couldn't be arsed to get any on the way home but as I live no where near a petrol station it was a bit daft! Quote
jonathan73 Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 375 miles on a tank and the light hasn't come on yet? How s.l.o.w do you drive Nixy IT's a 350 for God's sake - give it some right foot! : I get about 22.7mpg at best Quote
stuey Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 the best ive had on a journey is 31.7 ....thats on motorways tho...!! Quote
nixy Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 It's hard to drive fast with a line of cars in front of you doing 45mph unless you're in a helicopter. Anyway, it'll keep the husband sweet for the time being. Quote
Stew Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I easily achieve 30 on a motorway journey. My normal driving gets at best 23. If I have a few spirited runs then this'll drop to 19 for a tank. Not that bad really though! Quote
martinmac Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Just to cheer you up Nixy, you are not the only one to have flood trouble. Major problems in Grange yesterday. Unfortunately, by the time I found out it was sunny so I had the roof off and windows down. Quote
dunker Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I must be averaging close to 24 mpg, but motorway driving on a busy day....closer to 30 mpg, empty motorway, closer to 20 mpg. Popping in and out.....18 mpg!! Quote
martinmac Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Just a bit. Anything to amuse the tourists. Only slight cosmetic and ego damage though so not too bad. Quote
vestitas Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 The Aston averaged just over 11mpg !!!! T'was VERY thirsty!!! Quote
Chris`I Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 The Aston averaged just over 11mpg !!!! T'was VERY thirsty!!! Hmm, I always wanted an Aston, better make sure that I do my daily commute by train if I ever get one! A tank would last me about 3 days Quote

Will 34p/mile cover 11MPG? Quote
dunker Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 The Apache drinks fuel at around 1000lbs per hour.....I think thats around 5 litres per minute... Quote
SunGodRA Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 My fuel economy is crap! - I get 6.5km/l going to and from work, and about 8.5km/l on motorways (I think the conversion to mpg is x2.3) Still, its worth it! Filling tank costs approx £58 and I get approx 250 miles - so I have my own pump at local petrol station lol. Has anyone changed the JDM 60ltr tank for a UK 75ltr? Quote

JDM tank is definitely bigger than 60 litres, it probably is the same as UK in size Quote
SunGodRA Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 See here (350zorro's post) http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... =fuel+tank It says JDM is 60ltr and UK is 80ltr Quote
nixy Posted August 2, 2007 Author Posted August 2, 2007 so that means we've got faster cars then with less weight? Quote
