How many miles are you getting on fuel???

[Ya55lne]

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?

very short town journeys = 14mpg

[e30bmlover]

i get 240 to a tank on the 320's final drive(4.1) thats driving around norwich looking for the brass(joke) i have a 3.64 slipper to go on at some point... then hopefully the milage will get better! also me and goosie are going to replace my engine loom, so that should help matters(this is to help ease the ass raping feeling)

Last time a filled a full tank i got 300 miles!! And that was all motorway miles!!

[AlexBaur325]

TBH i try not to think about it anymore...i used to set the mileclicker every time i filled up, see how many miles i could get...i dont bother anymore bastar* taxing* government.

[tailoutcharlie]

lots of variables ,matey, tyres, driving style, hills, condition of engine, roof racks etc.....

[daveburke114]

good point tailoutcharlie

filled up today full tank at £55, used half to drive 220 miles, all motorway

[Ya55lne]

I remember my first car...dont laugh at me....i had an escort 1.9 diesel (non turbo) i use to put £10 in and get 150 miles, and thats thrashing the living s**t out of it day in day out!!!

[maxfield]

About 40miles to a tenner if I'm lucky

[e30bmlover]

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.

I used to have a 2.9 XJ40...the computer average was 16mpg....being gentle with it

[tomtomtom]

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

[StuBeeDoo]

I'm getting around 100 miles to a tenner from my 320i Touring.
