I just want to know how man miles for 10£ does your car do.

My old 320i would do about 12 on a tenner's fuel, maybe 14 or 15 at current prices.

around 50 (m20/b25)

Around 40 miles on shortish journeys, 50 miles on longer motorway cruises (Tech 2 Megasquirted 325i Sport).

over 100

You dont want to know what i drive

Nope. It had problems.
Even with the 62ltr tank, I couldn't get from Exeter to Bristol (79 miles) without filling it up.

in your case you could have put an m70 v12 in there for economy

I bought a 325i, at cost of more than two and a half grand, since it was the cheaper option.

My E30 didn't just cheat on me for two weeks then chuck me for her new guy,
so you get what you pay for really.

What do you expect from a missing cylinder

I don't own a Corsa, i was refering to Alex and his apparent reluctance to to write in bigger font that he had one

haha, we pay our road tax on our petrol now, about a year ago it was just over 50p a liter... now its just under 80p a liter for premium. with road tax..

m42 gets 70ish

m40 - I get about 70

Bout 50 in me 320i. Lots of stoping and starting over here tho. Not much straight cruising.

My Alpina looks at a £10 and laughs and gulps it up

Wouldn't know, Its one of my bug bears actually watching people (or more rightly queue behind) people who put in anything less than £20!

Always puts me off a for sale car too if the dash photos show petrol needle in the red, if the owner is too tight to pop in a good few quid for test drives and alike then what else have they skimped on.

And yes my car also sports a 12 month tax disc.

That boils my p155 too.
Even though I rarely run on petrol, I always put 5 gallons in.
TBH, the whole "How far can you get on a tenner?" thing annoys me. Only putting small amounts of fuel in is false economy. It's certainly no way to calculate fuel consumption. The only reason I know how far my car goes on a tenner is because one of my regular calculations is cost per mile.

Thank fcuk its not just me who gets cheesed off at this!
I rarely put anything less than 1/2 tank in but cant put more than 50 litres in, as the o-rings that seal the pump are cracked and leak if i fill the tank. I'm reeeet council I am (althought i have just spent £130odd quid on practically nothing at my local stealers, so I'm not ALL council!) It's on my list of things to do on my week off anyway!

I was just woundring how many miles to expect. As ive filled up my car last Monday with £50 petrol and now its sunday and am left on the quarter Line
