Mines costs me roughly 35 quid a week in fuel running up and down from cumbernauld to Kilsyth every day plus round the town stuff maybe 18 miles a day but on the motorways on a full tank with four adults and luggage it has done about 330 mate

If you drive it normally, with a mixture of town/motorway driving should get at least 280 - 320 miles.

idge2003 will become famous soon enough
I normally average about 26mpg so would be roughly 300 to the fuel light!

Even if I drive like a saint I don't seem to get much more!
