Toon Chris Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 450 is easy enough cruising the motorway. Try slip-streaming a large coach at 60-65mph or big truck at 55mph (stay about 20ft back, max) for mpg in the high 40's. You have to keep sharp driving so close but if you are very short of fuel and money, it's a good trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zummertor Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 On long trips 400 is doable but I try to avoid going below 1/4 full before filling up, takes an age on slow pumps you can be there filling up and two small cars can come and go before you're done, can be chilly/wet depending on where the garage is. You big girls blouse! you don't know where I've been or as a Young One said "where haven't I been" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I always fill up at 1/4 but usually get somewhere around 300. Depends what kind of driving I've been doing. Done a lot of town driving with it recently so no idea what I'm getting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieP Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I get around 200 miles a tank although that is completely city mileage crawling at 30mph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KS2006 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I did a trip to London a week ago 240 miles averaged 56mph and 28.8 mpg - the best I have ever seen (used just over a half a tank). Then did my 3 mile daily commute (average 14mph and saw my lowest ever 10.1mpg!!). Dropped a 1/4 of a tank in 24 miles - only money eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
