How many miles are you getting on fuel???
Moderator: martauto
ok i put £10 in my car and driving it around town got me 40 miles, then i had to do a 20 mile trip on the dual carriageway so 20 miles there and back i put £10 in again as thats enough and i got 50 miles as i still had enough to drive around town.
For a 2.5 i was happy with that especially with the price for fuel.
On the dual carriage way i was doing 90mph there and back, so im guessing if i had done 60/70mph i would have proberly got between 60-70 miles out of it.
So what does evryone elses car give to say a tenner?

at the end of the day petroleum spirit is a must.. most of what we pay is tax because our greedy government insists on shafting us to the point of mass poverty.... then they will be happy. well @uck em! im still going to fill my car up... no matter what the price! im going to keep my e30 on the road for as long as possible.

out of interest, of those who complain about fuel prices (me included) do you drive steady to save fuel? i hate the price of fuel and i put a lot in my car every week but i still shoe it all over the place given the chance. not trying to make a point here it just occurred to me as i read this thread
