How many miles on a full tank!
« on: February 10, 2010, 06:59:32 PM »
Hi everyone,just a quick question.How many miles are you lot getting on a full tank? Mine is doing around 270 to 290 miles,is this correct? Only im not driving it that hard,the mpg is saying 35.5 but this doesnt seem right! Anybody else get more miles on a full tank? And if so any tips on how to get more miles? :'(

Admin: Why on Earth did you start this in the 'Classic' section?

If you're seeing 35.5 under normal mixed driving, you're doing well. Mine shows an average of 30 at this time of year. Daily 12 mile trip averaging about 25mph. Sport mode all the time.

If you want more than 35.5 buy another car.

...or shell 101


Shell 101? Are you mixing this yourself, im fairly certain the top they do is 99, which is what V-Power is. BP do a 102, but this is only available from VERY limited places, for example, the BP garage on the Silverstone racetrack!

I do around 70 miles a day most of which is either motorway or dual carriageway driving and im getting 33 – 35 mpg in my esseesse, although when I touch that sexy little sport boost button it goes down to around 22mpg.

Mind you, I do get a little addicted to the acceleration with sport boost on :whistle:

A full tank will give me around 285 - 300 miles on average although i went through a full tank in two days the other week. I had just got my car back from the garage after what seemed like a lifetime, So it was sport boost all the way, just to rekindle the love lol :thumb:
