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!!! \:mad\:


Yeah, 108 squids a litre is seriously expensive!

on a run I got 330 miles from £50, fuel light not quite on. Totally standard, and was mostly motorway driving.

I done 250 miles with an indicated 1/8 of a tank of standard UL left. That's rural cycle (fair bit of variable throttle, nothing too fast, occasional blat) with a shot 'stat. Hopefully that's being fixed tomorrer.

Always run it from nearly empty (orange light on for 40 miles when I fill up) to full to brim with Optimax.

Rarely get under 400 miles - drive enthusiastically on fast moving A-roads and motorways. Best is 460, and included a high speed run or two.

When you say a tank, is that until virtually empty or just when the light comes on?

I can only put about 45-47 litres in mine when the light first comes on, so there could be up to 3 1/2 gallons left if the 63 litre capacity is correct.

Slightly (but only slightly) off topic, does anyone else find that their orange light is.. well.. a little 'unreliable' from time to time? I'm on my 3rd Coupe now, and have found them all to be the same. Orange light comes on, run it for a few more miles, orange light goes off and stays off for a day.. comes back on a again etc. In my first 20vt, I was on my way to get some fuel having had orange light on for a while, but the light went off. Still, I figured I'd go get the fuel anyway.. just as well, as it started stuttering! Still no orange light.. car just about made it to petrol station. Filled up with fuel.. problem sorted

Nowadays if I get anywhere near 1/4 tank I just fill up just to be on the safe side \:\)

Most people see the fuel light as a "You are out of fuel, REFILL NOW!" indicator. On the coupe i have learned that its more like a "Hey dude, you should like, fill up your tank tomorrow, maybe" indicator.

In other words it is fairly useless.

I do not know what you guys are doing but I an get 380-500 Miles from a tank of V Power. 280-350 If I really murder it around.

As for the orange light. You "Kids" Do not know you were born, try driving a Tipo Sedici it will tell you your on reserve 20 miles after a full tank fill up...
