Just filled up with 55.33 litres BP ultimate (filled expansion tank).

Fuel consumption was 58.33 MPG my best ever.

Now a convert to BP ult. Mostly driven gently on country roads but included 2 hours nose to tail in a safari park.

Well pleased .

thats beyond the most iv got is about 400 miles thats mixed drving with a mixture of town/motorway/country type roads

how did you manage that

Thats impressive, i can get about 400-450 miles on a tank full of mixed driving. i would pleased if i was you.

I get about 520 miles out of a tank.

I guess id get more if i didnt overtake, and play the 'how low can i get my mpg going up this hill' !! lol.

9.5 is the best, along the foss.

And I thought 500 to a tank was good. You must have got stuck to that lorry you were

following

WTF!!! Lol, grandad driver here haha. I dont think Ive hit 400 on a tank yet let alone 700 :eek:

That because you drive like a yungster

i did under 200 miles today and used a tankful,never managed over 350 miles on a tank,what am i doing wrong?:confused:

And possibly related problem,my car has gone through 3 sets of tyres in the 13000 miles it has done,in fact i scrubbed anothr pair of fronts off today,is this normal?

LOL sounds like me bud /\

never reached 400, i just get throttle happy

most i've had is 430 when i was trying to be good.

400 for me too

Always get about 600ish from a tank (Including the expansion) but do 70% motorway and sometimes I drive at 56mph just to see what mpg i can get!!

over 700 miles to a tank , thats certainly a record in my eyes , beats my 645 miles done the other week

if i didn't have such a poor/slow/traffic filled drive home from work i would be up near that mark

most ive done would be just over 600 miles out of one tank,

how did u get 55 litres in? my tank fully empty will only go to around 48-50 litres.. :|

Amazing!

But what was your average speed?

As for myself, I typically get about, er, 350 miles to a tank. And that's on V-Power diesel too!

In my defence, I've only had my vRS a month so I'm still having fun, the engine needs decoked (possibly) as it was previously owned by a retired gent who only put 7910 miles on it from new (it's an 04-plate) and also my right foot is actually made from osmium, the most dense naturally occurring element (which explains why it's so heavy).

I normally get about 400 to a tank but on the way back from the ring i only used half a tank lol

On average I get about 450-475 per tank and I run Millers diesel sport 4 with every tank, think the best I had was 500 miles, 700 is unreal!! Does the expansion tank really add that much?

Thats what I usually get. I think the expansion takes loads if you take the time to fill it up fully, I'll get an extra 170-190 miles before the needle will even move if am being a good boy:cool: (just on ordinary diesel)

I can manage 6.6 on the flat.. but then mine has a proper engine.

Sounds perfectly normal usage to me.

I used to get around 430miles to a tank around town in my vRS but I travelled at off peak 90% of the time.

Thats some achevement!

Lucky if i got 300miles from my last tank!

Ha.

Did you have a fiew extra diesel cans in the boot or forget to reset your trip? most ive ever got was 510 all motorway and between 400 and 450 mixed driving :confused:

I've had about 600 miles to a tank using the overfuel. I could maybe squeeze about 650 if I went all the way down to ZERO miles left in tank. And that's with mostly country driving with a bit of spirited.

700! You're joking surely?

520 is about the average for a tank and that's with the expansion tank! (~52ltrs)

i usually get around 450 mark

What size tank do the VRS's have? My old 306HDi did 714 to a tank once!" This was a mixture of motorway, B road and traffic jams. It hold 60L. Equates to around the high 50's to the gallon. Totally standard car etc. Would have thought a VRS would have done around 600?
