I would expect about 120 miles from 20 squid. Driven pretty carefully.

Doing the 8 miles country/town roads backwards and forwards to work, overtaking white van man whenever I can, means that I do 280-300 miles on a tank, but a long journey up the motorway I sometimes get 360 miles....

Roof lining on mine had falled down when I bought it but I've stuck it back up with some aerosol glue
