Well depends how you drive.

I got 200 miles to a tank out of mine.

My friend got 360 miles out of his. :)

[andys1981]

a dont razz the zr maybe i should thats shocking a take it,200 miles out a tank for a 1.4 eh, so should i just get a 180 then?

Mines costs me roughly 35 quid a week in fuel running up and down from cumbernauld to Kilsyth every day plus round the town stuff maybe 18 miles a day but on the motorways on a full tank with four adults and luggage it has done about 330 mate

If you drive it normally, with a mixture of town/motorway driving should get at least 280 - 320 miles.

a drive normally feck knows what she does lol

I normally average about 26mpg so would be roughly 300 to the fuel light!

Even if I drive like a saint I don't seem to get much more!

Need to teach Kel to change up gears..
Good luck with getting back in a ZS.

zr has got a smaller tank as well remember...but depends how your diving just bec ause a car has a smaller engine doesnt mean its more economical, id recon my zs is more economical than my zr, have drive a smaller engine harder to drive it normally

lol, reckon that must be the problem, i struggled to get less than 260 miles per tank when i had my zr 120:)

I get around 250 miles out of my 180, and i havent even got a heavy foot.

[Alan.F]

i used to get mid 200's but have had as little as 90miles (trackday lol)

I used to average 320 to a tank when commuting with mixed driving and various roads, no motorways but quick dual carriage 'A' roads. Could be higher if driven with slippers and moving the seat back so you can fully depress the gas pedal!

Town driving stop start traffic you should get mid to high 200s miles.

Fast country/A roads should get about 320 miles.

Keep it below 3k revs all motorway could see almost 400 miles.

Generally I would 280-320 miles.

[Maxxed_Ross]

When I had mine it was getting around 300 miles from mixed driving, and a whopping 450 when I drove it to Sheffield and back... and that was at 80 - 85 mph

It seems to get more economical at that speed

[angry_muppet]

I regularly turn 31mpg, but have had it as high as 33.5mpg. All depends how fast you drive and how harshly you accelerate (and brake)...

Fuel consumption? Whats that? :blink:
