In mine it takes £40 to get near half tank everyone elses the same? i can get 50miles if im lucky and take it easy. Just curious how everyone does with theres?

I can do up to 300 miles on £50 of normal UL (pretty much all urban slow speeds).

I assume you are using V power but you should be over half a tank for £40 as that is not far off 40 litres (or has V power got stupidly expensive?). IIRC the coupe has a 60l tank) and you only get 50 miles There must be a problem with your car!!!!! Assuming you get 35l, that's only 6.5mpg for 50 miles!!!!

Eh? Something up with your coop then...what's the running temps like?

Official coupe tank is 63 litres.

I get 340 miles for £50 of V-Power.

Yup and I just did around 616 miles off boost, and that was around £100.

I didn't boost up once....

runnin temps are always low unless im sittin in traffic for ages after giving it a load of right foot? Yeah i would say i get 50miles to a tenner max on urban. On a motorway she is a lot better, but the car seems to run well? When i had the camblet kit done at motormech he said it drove well. God im gettin way less mileage than you guys 300miles on 50quid, im only using standard unleaded

How low is low temps?

If I give her an Italian drive then I'm very lucky to see 80 miles to £20 but I'm modded a bit so your coop is running rich.

how do i check that and hwo much is it to get sorted roughly? mine is standard as far as i know

What is your running temps after 15 mins driving on Motorway?

i'd have to check but definately lower done think most i had on motorway was about half way on coolant ill have to check figures

Well you should be looking around the 80 mark on coolant anyway, if it's running lower than 70 then you'll need a new thermostat. That would explain the rich running.

Or you've got a very heavy right foot.

Does V power not improve fuel consumption as well as performance in the 20vt?

i may need a new thermostat then

Possibly but to be honest I haven't/can't run 'normal' fuel for ages, in fact since I bought my coop over three years ago she's always been run on higher octane fuels.

wat coolant level should i be expecting urban? thats what im doin mostly. its always near the bottom though ill monitor it rest of week

Mine goes up to 70 odd after 15 minutes in traffic Your thermostat sounds pooped

where can i get a thermostat? i couldnt see one on alternative autos

Would think they'd have one - phone tomorrow... Or http://www.shop4parts.co.uk/index.cfm?action=catalogue.list Or try Fiat!

I've got a receipt for 64.10 litres that went into the coupe 11 days ago.

When my coupé was standard I could get 330miles out of a tank easy with about £48 worth of V-Power. 5speed and 15mile each way to work on the back roads.

They do sell them though. I bought one from them at the end of August and it was only £25.99+VAT (Genuine Fiat part as well). Well worth doing as it will pay for itself pretty quickly when your fuel consumption improves.

hi roud town my coolant temp is 70ish

You get 50 miles for £40 or am i being ditsy????

My main coupe takes just over £52 to fill and will do 500 miles comfortably.

i put in 40 of standard unleaded and get about half a tank filled!? But that is from near empty.

I get 50 miles max for £10 if i go into the red. Seem to get a bit less for £20 at the pump it does about 180 miles, that isnt booting it either

I don't get what you're saying



then



surely 180 miles on £20 is MORE than 50 miles on a tenner?

Stop trying to work out part-tanks. Just fill it up until the pump clicks off, then drive it until the light comes on. You should be getting 275 - 325 miles from a standard Coupe's full tank, with mixed driving and the occasional blast.

All motorway will see an easy 400 miles cruising at 70mph and a trackday will see less than 100 miles.

ok will do

Exactly what I did for the Lakes meet

Filled it up before I went, reset the clock to zero, done some mixed driving over the weekend.

When the light came on, I'd done 350 miles

put £55 v-power in last week, got 340 miles which i felt disappointed with tbh, especially after their claim it is supposed to reduce consumption. i paid £1.02 per litre, ffs!!!

think yourself lucky its £107.9 where i live

fek i live in burton so its only 16 miles or so....that's mental eh?
