Neilp Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 17.8mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 On a long run (Mainly motorway) I can get about approx 400 miles to a tank. On average I think I get about 300-350 miles to a tank depending on how I drive. My MPG seems to be on 23mpg (+ or - 1) most of the time If I drove every where like I stole it then it would be a lot less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesc Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Currently getting 200 miles to a full tank at a shade under £70. I drive an RX-8 though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 My last tank was about 160-170 miles from fill up to red light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I generally fill up as soon as I can after reaching 1/4 of a tank, the most I think I have ever put in is £85. I would say the average for me is about £65-£70. I have always put Shell Optimax or Tesco 99RON in my Tank As the Tax has now gone up I guess you can add a £5 to all the above figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Capacity x Cost per ltr = Roughly how much It matters to give a closer representation of fuel consumption. You never fill from bone dry empty though. I think the red light will come on when there is about 9/10 litres left. So i'm guessing a average fill will be 50-60 litres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor austin Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I usually put in £80 worth (£131 a litre here!) and The trip computer reads on average 26 mpg but can go to 28 if I take it easy and 18 when i really give it some...not sure what I get per tank full. Overall I have concluded I dont drive the Zed to conserve £££ I drve it cos its real fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drivebyabuser Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Computer saying 16 odd mpg. I put £80 in it and got about 200 miles but it was just on the red light. I do all urban driving, commuting etc. I think a full tank from brimming to empty should hit 250 miles. Mine is chipped + Spacer. Only had it a month and i am still "enjoying" driving it.

rtbiscuit Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Right see if this helps this is the data from my phone, its off the software i use for logging in all my fuel fill ups the data was taken between 11/12/2009 - 30/04/2010. i don't own the zed anymore and prices have since changed but should give you a good idea. distance between fillups average = 264.85 miles max = 468.00 miles min = 67.00 miles last = 106.00 miles fuel economy average = 24.40 mpg best = 31.08 mpg worse = 20.29 mpg last = 23.35 mpg fuel prices average = 1.18 p per litre max = 1.25 p per litre min =1.11 p per litre last = 1.25 p per litre fill-up costs average = £59.49 max = £88.90 min = £14.48 last = £88.90 average cost per mile = £0.335 maximum cost per mile = £1.272 minimum cost per mile = £0.041 last cost per mile = £0.839 fuel amounts total = 710.57 L average = 50.76 L max = 73.45 L min = 12.94 L last = 71.12 L fuel expense total = £832.92 last year = £646.94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
