For all you diesel fans....
Plus I had a gallon left, making 49mpg 
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!

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 :|

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

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.
