How Many miles to a Tank?


Recommended Posts

<< I've seen how Sharon drives, and she's lucky to get as much out of a tank as she does.

Foot to the floor until the engine bounces off the rev limiter, then its time to change gear. Good fun though eh!

It's just as well you don't drive a turbo Sharon, or you'd be down to a single figure mpg. face-icon-small-happy.gif >>

I usually get around 190 - 200 miles on 3/4's of a tank which is my usual refill point and is around £35 - £40's worth. I am getting around 22 - 24mpg which is all back roads and 30 - 40mph zones. So all in I am rather happy with this as the standard 265 bhp STi is supposed to give 25 mpg combined and I have a 300bhp/290ftlbs remap all-be-it with an economy map in 6th gear.

Does anyone else find the lines just don't line up to what you have left?

When mine says 1/2 a tank it really means 2/3 of a tank left, and when it's at 1/4 it's not really, but then below a quarter it seems to drop very steeply until the light comes on.

Also, what does the light tell you? Is it 10litres?

Mine is obscured behind my R-Vit so I keep having to peek round to see it if I get near the end.

I've already been a passenger, and your driving is remarkably good actually.

(I promise not to mention you going over the cross hatching on the aproach to the motorway).

Hmmm,

My MY98 PPP, 280miles pretty consistently (60L tank)

My MY97 Wag, 310-320miles (60L tank)

My MY94 RA 2.5, 4.5 - 6miles (10L tank)

You're about on par with what I am. My best tank has been 240 miles but I usually hit the petrol light at about 190-200
