Well I calculated it online, £30 fuel, at £144.9 and done 200 miles on it.

I am off to Norfolk in 2 and a bit weeks so will have a completely full tank and let you know the result.

As stated above the light did make an appearance but there have been abit of fuel left.
Let's see what happens in a couple of weeks

If i calculated it right thats about 10 miles per litre???
£30.00 / £1.45 = 20.6 litres
20.6 / 200 = 9.7 mile per litre
i think thats the right calculation.
and i think theres 4.? litres per gallon so yeah 40mpg.

I get about 25mpg on day to day
run. but i only pay £1.39 per litre.

There are 4.55 litres to a British gallon.
There are too many rounding up's in that calculation to make it acurate.
The fuel light may have flashed once but that is not an acurate way to judge how much fuel is in the tank.
The only way to do it is fill every tank to the brim.

Agreed the fuel gauge is a predictive one, I can make the gauge drop over 1/8th within less than a mile. If I ease up it will climb up again doesnt mean Ive gained fuel!

Gauge is only an indication rather than a actual level of fuel in the tank.

I struggle to reach 25 seem to always get around the 23-24 mark regardless of city or motorway driving and that's with a lightweight fly, which should theoretically increase mpg. Still not complaining its good fun and I get from A to B in good time

I suddenly feel a lot better about the 28-29 I can get out of the 260...
