    '07 Civic 1.8, getting about 570km out of the 50 litre tank before I refill it. Takes about 44-45 litres to refill so I'd imagine it would have no problem getting to 600km (372 miles). I tend to drive it in a bit of a "spirited" fashion though :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    SAAB 900S I don't know the size of my tank. Btw, I like to fill it up before it's empty ;) Mpg 25-35 depeneding on rural or city.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭kayos


    Depends on where and how I'm driving......

    45Litre tank, 1.8 20VT.

    Going on the on board computer I would be doing about 28MPG urban, about 40mpg on long distance, combined would be say about 30-35MPG. I have got an average of about 10MPG out of a tank before but I dont think that counts ;).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,989 ✭✭✭patrickc


    volvo s40 1.9td, for 50 litres i get anywhere from 480/530 miles depending on my driving per tank mostly.

    ha! lots of diesel drivers boasting their economy.

    bmw 323i, 330 miles to a tank. Around 28 mpg.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,120 ✭✭✭Tails142


    http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&q=convert+25+miles+per+british+gallon+to+miles+per+litre&btnG=Search&meta=

    25 (miles per Imperial gallon) = 5.49922893 miles per litre

    about 80 litres in the tank which I normally let run till nearly dry cos I hate going to the petrol station equals 440 miles.

    441 miles - 80 liters


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,875 ✭✭✭Beta Ray Bill


    Lancer Evo 5 - Approx 56L Tank - Miles... Not much

    About 370 miles from 50Litres.

    Skoda Octavia 1.8T VRs. OBC reckons average is around 37mpg.

    All Motorway driving, but that includes the M50 :-(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭DubDani


    Peugeot 406 2.0 HDI - get around 800 miles (approx. 1300 km) per filling (70 - 72 litres). But this is usually pure motorway driving.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,423 ✭✭✭tinkerbell


    I THINK I get around 315 miles maybe on a tank and that's on a Yaris and it's only 30 litres to fill roughly. Is that good?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 paulos


    saab 9-3 2.0T, 50 litres gets between 175 and 225miles depending on how heavy the right foot is that week, most was 275miles


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 123 ✭✭matrixroyal


    Pajero 2.5 Diesel

    A fill costs over € 70 now and will be lucky to get 300 miles out of it.

    Pretty bad I think, especially as diesel is now so expensive.
    I think the writing is on the wall now for uneconomical cars.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 40,800 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    2005 Avensis D4D

    €60 to fill, dive or take a euro here or there depending where you fill up (50 liter tank i think)

    get about 430 miles to that (688km)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


    Good timing for this thread. I just bought a 2003 745Li and I am intersted to see what other cars are getting. It has an 88 litre tank and I used just over half of that yesterday doing about 410 miles, 400 of which were motorway.

    MrP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,183 ✭✭✭Fey!


    I have a '98 520, and I think it's about 70 litres. 250 miles if driven very hard in town, 500 miles if I behave on a long run. That's 23mpg to 35mpg when I do the math.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,939 ✭✭✭mikedragon32


    Volvo S40. Usually put about 48l into it (never let it go empty) and get about 650 - 700km out of it, depending on where/how I'm driving but it's mostly motorway & N roads.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,638 ✭✭✭zilog_jones


    '98 Fiesta 1.3 (yeah that one). Get about 200-240 miles from a full tank - manual says it's 40 litres but even leaving it go past the red mark and right to the empty line it will only fill about 32-34 litres.

    So I'm getting around 30MPG :( Getting it checked out today - don't know why I've been putting up with this for over a year!

    EDIT: Low compression in one of the cylinders. Yay!

    Plus you have to factor in 1 litre of engine oil every thousand miles....

    Feck, I'll have to try harder :D

    Yeah, I reckon I could give them a run for their money mpg wise, but I doubt / hope I wouldn't be able to touch them oil wise.

    Rovi, indeed, you WILL have to try harder......19MPG, a very poor report card for you, given the car..... :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Donie75


    Passat 2.0 Tdi 140bhp.
    70 litre tank so about 65 litres per fill.
    900 to 1000km depending on type of driving. I did 1080 once.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,570 ✭✭✭Rovi

    Well, I do drive it like there were eggs under the throttle pedal (most of the time).
    When it comes time to open up the taps though... :eek:

    Plenty of owners on the various RS forums are reporting MPG in the low teens to single figures.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,043 ✭✭✭2 Espressi


    About 250 - 300 to the tank, depending on the weight of the throttle pedal...
