I managed 37 mpg few times, for life of me I canna remember how many miles to the tank it was, cant been far off what you had. My normal mixed driving gives me about 310-360 miles to a tank occasionally dipping below 290:)

I was regularly getting just over 300 miles to a tank from mixed driving, and managed well over 400 a few times on long motorway trips

the 180 seems to like sitting at about 80mph

My calculations said I got 105mpg from a tank a couple of weeks ago!

Once I got 450 miles on holiday, average is 320-350 if driven sensibly!

Wtf? Only just managed to get mine to 220 miles to a tank!! And that's with constant grandad driving! Frequently less than 200 with normal driving...

Still after she's been serviced I'm hoping things will get better!

And luke, I bet the bottom half goes in less than 100 miles... lol typical rover fuel gauge!

I'm about the same, it's the others that are doing it wrong though, not trying hard enough :whistle::whistle:

Well If I worked within 5 miles of home I guess my right foot would be well planted all the time and probably have a few points as well! However when taking the zed to work the weekly commute is 350 miles, so I drive within my bank balance! ;)

I've been using fuelly.com (link below) for a while and the best I've got is 33mpg, average is as below.

However I recently entered some details and it came back at 105mpg!

I checked the recept and realised they had under charged me - £5 for a tankful. Thinking about it I remembered walking to the counter and the assistant asking if it was pump 2, I said "no, pump 17", the reciept shows she still chared me for pump 2.

Quality, I have missed a fuel up before on fuelly and it came back at nearly double the mpg lol.

33mpg is my best also, and now averaging 30mpg. There is no way on mixed driving anyone can get 450 to a tank. A journey yes, but not combined, no way!
