The 501 Club

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 "

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

Amazing!

I did 260-270 miles on £40 this weekend on a motorway run.

I only manage to squeeze about 55 litres in the tank, and with sedate driving to work, and pretty much "hell raisin" the rest of the time i get about 300 miles to £50.

I did get over 400 when i was running it in tho.

If I get more than 450 kms (280 miles) out of a tank, I consider myself to have failed.

i usually get 300, no turbo, so it needs a lot more full throttle action to get going.

atm im on 120 miles from 1/4, using 95ron for the first time ever, and the economy is miles better!

hmmm...this sounds like a challenge. I got just over 450 out of my last tank - I'll have to see if I can get near 500 on the next!

Filled her up last night and drove 140 miles, the light is now on....



...2nd and 3rd mostly, ragging the life out of it, on boost all the way.

OK,
Last week I did my first Motorway Run!
It really makes a massive difference!
Got Nearlly 400 miles out of the tank!

Compared to 250 around town!

511.2 miles today Including driving into Dublin Airport (City traffic)

My personal best so far is 430 ish with motorway driving and not hanging about. I do need the thermostat changed though.

My worst has been 340.

If I drove like a lunatic everywhere mid 200's I would have thought.

Run a Gtec2 and have to use super unleaded.
