    08 Golf Gt Sport 140bhp 55ltr tank and OBC tells me I'm using 10ltrs per 100kms. mostly town driving. Depends very much on how it is driven if you drive her quickly your looking at 15ltrs per 100kms

    Getting between 200 and 250 miles per tank (60 litres), 18-23 MPG.

    I haven't really measured it but I guess I'd be around the same. But instead of your modern 1.3l, I drive an ancient 4.7l :D

    Really depends on how you drive, can easily see single figure mpg in town.

    Normally I get about 270/280 miles to a tank full, 70 liter tank, although when I do fill it takes between 60 and 65 liters.

    The car tells me it averages 19mpg - most of my driving is on the motorway.

    VERY easy to get that figure down though and it also burns a liter of oil every 1500 miles on average, the oil is almost €24 per liter.

    Don't do many miles though - for obvious reasons :)

    Reading through the thread I'm very impressed with the Peugeot/Citroen diesel economy :eek:

    Miles per tank is useless information when comparing different cars and different fuel prices. Why not figure out miles per gallon heres how fill tank to brim reset trip to zero, next fill fill tank to brim again before you drive off write down cost of fill milage reading since last fill and cost per litre. eg traveled 250 miles cost of fill €37 price per litre €1.20 37/1.20= 30.83 litres 30.83/4.454=6.78 gallons 250 miles/6.78 gallons= 36.8 miles per gallon.

    Or you could just take down how many litres you put in from the pump - I use the notes in my phone. Of course it's how much you fill it the next time round that corresponds to the amount of fuel you've used for what you've measured with your trip counter.

    1999 Opel Vectra 1.6 16 valve petrol. 60 litre tank. Takes approx 55 - 57 litres.

    460 to 480 miles per tank. Mainly motorway driving but some town driving. Although this is with a pretty light right foot its not bad considering there are 144k miles up on the car and wider tyres than standard.

    My Ford Transit tank holds approx 17.5 Gallons. It would do around 25 mpg in the city and 38mpg cross country. I would normally fil it to the top on the Naas Rd and travell to Tralee via Shannon or Ennis and back on a full tank. If the van is loaded it will obviously use more. Last year the round trip could have been done for e75 now it is costing well over the ton.
