And for the Op .... update us - how did the second half of the tank fair ? I rekon it plummeted !!!!

Mine is normally around 220 as well.

To get 360 miles to the tank you have to be averaging 30 miles to the gallon.

I could understand that from a 120 but not a 180 if driven as per IAM, maybe these highly ecconomical cars live at 60mph on the motorway.

I guess a lot of this does depend on what you class as a tank like for myself i've never seen the fuel light come on which means there is at least 1.8 gallons left according to the manual which would be say another 45 miles!

I'm not bothered though as i just put fuel in when it needs it and I'm gonna make the most of it as all the cars I'm thinking about to replace the ZS with when the time come will be alot worse!

50 and 60 mph limits are a freedom for me here on the coast in Norfolk!
Used to 30 and 40mph, do open it up on way to Ramsey near Huntingdon when I see my brothers family but hardly ever see below 340 ish, it's a very clean well maintained engine

When i went to Bude in September, (245 mile from home) i got there with half way between 1/4 and 1/2 a tank left, i am sure i managed 340ish before refueling. Red light coming on and off.
