dave_morgan Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Fork me, I managed a draw dropping 301 miles to the last tank!!! Have shell doubled up their dose of OB in optimax to make up for forgetting to put it in last month !?! And that was a mixture of driving too - mostly motorway, but some fun on the Coldstream road too - I couldn't believe it ! The regualr light det'ing I was getting last month has disappaeared now too [] [H]
chris_c201 Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Superb mate, i broke 300 once with a mixture of motorway and town driving altho i have a fairly respectable 265ish average anyway..... Makes you tempted to take it easy to keep economy up......... then you come back to your senses and realise your not driving an oil burner []
dave_morgan Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 That's what was amazing - I wasn't driving for economy at all !! Just cruising down to Newcastle and back with a bit of trundling around and fun in between. I never usually measure it to be honest, but this was a "full tank to light on" job, and I reset the trip when I filled. Well chuffed. This week I'm going to see how low I can get it !!! Any track days on soon? []
ormiboy Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 id love 300+ to a tank!!! since my andy f apexi encounter i get 240 per tank regardless of driving style? still at least its predicable!!
Gumball Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 good result mate. im smoked after 209-215. I once managed 240, in fact it was last weekend when i ran out of fuel on teh M74 and had to get a fuel drop in a green can lololololool 300 sounds the business
oobster Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Once done 310 miles, Bellshill to Nottingham (South). Filled tank @ Shell Bellshill and still had just slightly under a quarter when i got to Nottingham. Pretty much motorway the entire way though - M74, M6, M61, M62, M1. Never went above 80mph the ntire journey.
road warrior Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Kart Man, that wasnt you going thru Coldstream last night in a silver wagon was it?
gus the bus Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 317 or was it 319 is my all time record. That was on my great north run! Gus
dave_morgan Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 Quote Kart Man, that wasnt you going thru Coldstream last night in a silver wagon was it? Nope, I was in a P1. Passed through on Friday afternoon, then came back the A1 on Sunday []
oz *sti* Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 wow what a result mate [Y], I'm lucky to get 200 out of a tank.
st3ph3n Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Managed 280 once. That was only on 45 litres too. If I look at all my fillups since september and I've never put more than 50 litres in despite the tank being 60. I rarely push past 45 litres or there abouts because at that point the gauge is looking mighty close to empty.
clutdav Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Are the guys who get 300-ish miles to a tank running WRX's or STi's as my STi9 doesn't get anywhere near that??? [*-)] Dave
