Well an all time great, following a new thermo which is a stupendioulsy great item.

(car now warms up in 6 mins and the first time i drove home i was thinking i'd got an airlock how fast it got hot)

I achieved 501 miles on a tank, with enough to get to a garage for more.

Mix of driving too, mostly very erratic & 250 motorway miles including a 120 mph race with a police car on the M10


Ohhhhhh 6-speed

Anyone beet that????

WOW!

And no 338 miles is my best

I got 410 miles out of my old Coupe during the petrol crisis of 2000.

John

I've done over 400 also on my 5 speed. 500? Sounds like a challenge!

I've done over 500 as well with my 6 speeder

Was all motorway driving back from the UK to home in 1 day. I have to say I did drive quite sensible all the way with only a few quick moments. But it's certainly possible

I did 500 miles on a tank when going to the Xmas dinner and back, still a good few litres left in the tank too
A new thermo makes a fantastic difference to winter warm up. As Carl says in well under 10 mins it is at full operating temp I used to freeze most of the way to work before i fitted it.

I always do at least 400 to a tank, i must drive too slow!

I normally get over 400 miles, but once that amber light starts to flicker i chicken out. I need to get a fuel can and see how far i can push it.......



Or maybe not.

Usually over 400, best ever 435 miles....Next weekend I'm going to try and beat my record and get near 500!

260 as usual

I hate you lot

Well I tried the Gtech 1 chip in mya car for a couple of weeks and got even better fuel consumption than standard

Whats that all about

I normally get 230 But I also chicken out when the petrol light comes on.

My best ever is only 310 though and that was pretty much all motorway miles.

440 was my best - that was in a run from Warwick to Ireland 85ish leptons and about 4 chases ....


And that was in an NA !!!!

sure you havent LPG'd That mutha???

My best ever was 270 with nearly all motorway miles! Do you all drive like girls (Stereotypical girls that is)?

What the hell?
I must have a very heavy right foot!
Not managed 300 miles yet out of a full tank?
Now way on the planet I would get 500?
What super fuel is that running on?

614 and not too sedately either

Switching to gas (or chip fat) half way through is not allowed

Neil

ah i dont though
Veg all the way baby! and that was with load in the boot as well, none of this fairy touching up of the throttle either

King Pleb?
You saying that you did 614 miles on 1... I said 1 Full tank?
So your car is twice as economical as mine?

Do you have a 10 speed gearbox or something?
Do you have a litte hole where you can run with your feet (like the flint stones?)

No- he has LPG i think!

He runs a diesel Xantia too IIRC.

Thus " Veg all the way "

Pete

500 miles means 36 mpg
614 is a whopping 44 mpg!

If you got the book numbers of
19.6 28.0 & 37.0 mpg you'd get
272 388 & 512 miles out of a tank respectively.
I average 26.5mpg so can go for 368 miles on a tank.!!

as i said i didnt even really have to push her at all to get that and a fair bit was in traffic as well

they can do 60mpg if you sit at 60 all the way but i reckon you could squeeze more out by sitting behind a big arctic at 60 as well

yip i used veg oil on that bad boy and she loves it though i need some new pump seals as she is dribbling some of it away and overfuels on boost now and has a flat spot due to it but hopefully fix her all good soon

i've done liverpool to glasgow and back on a tank

Thats driving quite hard too.

Manages it easy.

I'd say if your only getting half, you got a problem.

I'm doing dual carriageway for the next three weeks and just managed 120 on a quarter of a tank!!
Quite impressed, that was at a steady 80.

I squeezed 410 ish miles out of a full tank this weekend 98% motorway driving with some bursts of acceleration!

M5 south bound near Weston at 11pm on Sunday = DEAD
