For all you diesel fans....

Plus I had a gallon left, making 49mpg :D
And the amazing thing is, its with 'that crappy' Morrisons petrol!
Proves that the big companies are conning us!
Thats mostly A and M roads at 60-65 mph with 3 adults and loads of luggage. All I did before was a oil change to Gulf competition 5W, cleaned the cone filter and pumped the tyres up.
I cant believe this 9 year old barge can do nearly 50mpg!

Didnt know you had put a side-car on the motorbike.

That is pretty impressive!

Woah, that's amazing. In 6 years of ownership, the most I've seen from a full tank was 400 miles (motorway driving @ 60mph when I was testing how far one tank would go). The 1.4L should be economical, but it's overworked in a ZS :|

The TF135 does 450 miles to a tank :) - Or can anyway!

I kid ye not... I got 400 miles to a single tank (in my 180)... once... was well chuffed :D

Mind you, was just me in the car, with nothing in the boot and was only motorway driving without lead foot syndrom...

I managed 420 once whilst on holiday around Brean, not sure how I did it but was shocked. Most have done since which has been repeated has been 350, average is 320.

Now that would be impressive from a 3 gallon tank!

Dan1971 04-04-11 06:33 PM

Yeah decent return - I'm getting just short of 600 without thinking about it. 200 on the first quarter of a tank this time having filled at a shell. ;)
