miles per tank of fuel

[Norman Verona]

Was you on the back of the 18 wheeler?  

[Barry Ashcroft]

My Mundingo 2.0tdci will do 600 on a tank on some ford forums I've read that 700 miles is acheviable

[langy]

Leon 2.0tdi, 140bhp, 55 litre tank, I get about 55 mpg travelling mostly A roads  

Xtreme 2litre pinto, 25 litre tank, I get sub 20 mpg    

[frubpato?]

A4 tdi  170  , cant get the thing above 40mpg even when sitting on the motorway at 70!  Think some of these  economy claims are tosh.

My last Renault Laguna wouldn't do less than 53mpg unless you were on the autobahn

I can get nearly 200 from the Westfield before my bum twitches

[Glen H]

2.2 ST TDCI Mondeo returned 55MPG last week on a 250 mile run.

Unusually its mostly town driving since I've had this car  but thought 55mpg was good for 'normal' (for me) motorway speeds

Road Westy will do 240mile to a tank

How the heck do you manage that?

40mpg and just over 6 gallon tank

[Matt Seabrook]

Road Westy will do 240mile to a tank sprint car will do about 10 mins

My sprint car has a three gallon tank and it starts to splutter after about ten mins on track. So my sprint car is doing about 5-6MPG

So no you dont get a prise Norm. Goodness knows what some of the big V8's are doing on track

I get more like 80 out a tank in my Westfield        100 if I'm gentle    

About 400 out of my 2 litre petrol Mondeo...........so I wouldn't be switching the lights on at Blackpool............so that's fortunate

Earlier this year we had to drive over to Belgium to try out a super flow dyno.  We wanted to be able to compare the figures for a car that had run on our current dyno which we believe is dead accurate. Anyway I left Leicester in my A6 1.9 tdi at 3am, drove to Northampton, picked up Steve and headed for the chunnel.  Arrived at the dyno in Belgium at 11.45, thrashed the Audi for two hours on the dyno and then headed back to chunnel and got home at 11.20 pm. Most of the journey the car was into 3 figures except for some M25 type traffic in France. We filled up half way up the M1 having done 635miles on a tank with 30 miles remaining on the trip.  Not bad for a tuned car that makes 170 bhp and 290 ft/lbs of torque.

Mundano 2.0 tdci auto 440 miles to the tank @ about 40 mpg

  auto kills it compared to manual cos it's got no sixth gear

Xtreme 2.1 pinto 100 miles to the tank @ about 20 mpg but with      

[Dave]

Did Chepstow to Hull 450 miles a couple of weeks back managed 45mpg not hanging about   di dhit a jam on the M1 near Notts

Reg see 38 doing 3 miles to work and back

BM 330d auto

I tried to drive to Le Mans and back without refuelling in France in my Mums Renault Laguna Diesel.... Got to Calais (on way back) and had to top up  I blame Sam Cooke for making us drive stupidly fast on the way back!

Did well over 650 that trip and I reckon with less load and a little less speed I could easily do 750+ in that car...my new car isn't quite so economical and seems to have a fuel tank as small as my Westy

[tex]

my nissan note 1.5 tdi does over 80 mpg if you keep it below 2000rpm.. Cant do that on a motorway but easy on back roads.. Never ever does less than 50mpg even if i dont try! Best fuel consumption iv ever had!

[cast iron]

Could see 72 MPG out of my note 1.5 TDI Get about 48 out of the 2.0 DCI squash pie, and thats a heavy SOAB

[markcoopers]

I manage about 45mpg, 165miles a day Aroad and a spot of motorway with pleanty of roundabouts. It did do 58mpg on a deliberate economy run, but this is a tad difficult to do every day.

BMW 123d, goes quite well.

Westy will do about 80miles if gentle/cruising in traffic like, but will drop to below half that if driven silly. On the trip to Le Mans that sparky manage 1 stop, I have 13 petrol stop receipts
