on my way to work today noticed this! not bad for quarter of a tank
|
I'm to worried what I'd see if I checked the derv!!!
But yours looks good. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: |
Mine looks similar, but then the next half a tank drops like a stone. Maybe 100miles it's down to a quarter. I always fill up on the light, 10 gallon (45l) at 280 miles. 28 to the gallon.
|
I agree with Steve!
|
How do people get such good mpg its rare for me to see 200miles out of a whole tank!
|
Don't think it is just that.
Like Steve's, mine will do well over 100 miles for the first quarter, then go down at freefall speed from there! |
Ive had 86 miles out of half a tank so far and thats with me doing my best to drive like a granny! Last tank got less than 18mpg!
|
Precat lambdas ok?
|
That the Little Old Granny from Pasadena, Jay???
:laugh::laugh::laugh: |
doesn't seem to matter how I drive mine I always get 300 miles to a tank lol
|
the rest of my tank thats similar, not as good, but i normally get over 200 miles out of half a tank. best ive done is 430 out of a tank. i'll see what the half way mark is and post that up
|
im sure i read that the top half of the gauge doesnt go down as fast as the bottom half,dunno whether its true though,good results

Best I have is with the green ZS -37mpg iirc, was pleased enough with that and have no inclination to go out to beat that figure, if I do, I do:) |
200 seems good fir a V6! I seem to get about 250 at the halfway point on a motorway run then about 270 on the second half. Normal use I get about 210, then 240.

The V6 seems to like sitting at nearer to 80 |
Not long done a 2 fuel calculators on back to back full tanks to empty & it comes in around 34mpg
with the 160vvc, lots of motorway but some spirited driving thrown in on country roads. |
I really don't know how some guys don't get 30 at least out of a 180. Cruising at 90mph on the autobahn we consistently get 35-36mpg, cruising at 100-110 drops to about 33. Even fanging around the alps trying (and failing) to keep up with my supercharged K Midget we were doing 28-30 most of the time.
All above were with summer tyres, with the winter ones on it drops 5% or so. EDIT: With our ZT 260 at home in NZ we get about 20mpg commuting, 27-28 cruising on the open road and perhaps 16-18 if really pushing hard. Towing my Midget on the trailer it still does about 22-23. |
I get on average with mixed town and fast a road driving about 29 miles per gallon.
That figure includes flogging it through the gears because it sounds awesome. I have just brilliant mine so I shall see what I can get out of it to the 1/4 mark. |

What can I say, the ZS tank gauge is nothing but a means to see how quick it's gone and when it needs feeding again!
|
I get anything between 280 and 320miles a tank depending how I,m driving and that's no motorway driving
|
28-30MPG is the norm for my commute. On a long motorway run, it could be as much as 38MPG.
|
From the long trips I've done in the 180 and 105 at consistent speed and conditions between refills, the trends I've noticed is the 3/4 mark on the guage is more like 2/3 in the tank. At 1/4 mark, it's 1/3 left in the tank. This is a rough calulcation using the real distances travelled. Hence, the guage appears to drop slowly 3/4, then feels like it drops crazy fast to 1/4. The final 1/4 tank covers about the same distance as the first 1/4.
OP, with 134 mi covered at the 3/4, you should see 260 mi by the time guage reaches 1/4 mark and 390 mi if you run the tank down to the reserve. On 50l of fuel, that could be 35mpg. Assuming the driving conditions stay the same :) |

Looks similar to fuelly.com except there you can share your info with others so it is easy to compare with other cars.
