3rd tank with TMC box:

275.3 miles, only 36 litres used, and 34.7 MPG (stupid tourist traffic been holding me up recently)

Also, filled her with V-power today, only the 3rd time since having the car, and the 1st time since having the TMC box. Will let you know the results of both performance and economy in due time! First thing it affected was my wallet, £1.30 a litre!  :o

Another 300+ mile tank on the A500

303.4 miles, 37.83 litres used (didn't let the last light go out this time  :whistle:) 36.5 MPG

My average for the last 13,879 miles has risen to 32 MPG now.

Can live with that  :)

I was going to say, it pays for itself the money it saves on fuel, but me and you both felt the benefits immediately didn't we  :whistle:

Getting closer to that 300 miles from a tank...

297 miles.  36.85 litres.  Last section on the gauge had just gone off about 3 miles before the garage.

(This is an esseesse remember and I'm just driving 'normally', not deliberately trying to get good economy).

That's 36.6 MPG then Scud. And you had at least 3 or 4 litres left so you could have had many more miles in that tank  ;)
What mileage you on now?

Just coming up to 17K DF.  I know there was more in the tank, but I don't want to run on dregs, and I had to stop at that petrol station on the way to work.  Maybe this tank I'll get over the 300.  I'm on 100 now with only one notch gone on the gauge, and that normally goes before 100.

High-light;
Getting 50.2 MPG


Low-lights;
1. It took 2hours 20min
2. Averaged 50mph over 121 miles
3. Was overtaken by a middle-aged lady having a driving lesson on the dual carriage-way, and yes you have guessed it, she was in a Fiat 500.
