How many miles on a full tank
 
Well after filling my tank in Inverness I wanted to see how many miles I could do so I reset the trip odometer and well this is my result doing the average 70mph still had a bit left in the tank so here is my picture of proof

Seems about right mate. On a journey I can get 300/320 out of a tank but around town lucky if I see 250 :paranoid:

midlife2 12-10-2014 05:18 PM

That's good I get around 200 miles out a tank in mine

Scott.T 12-10-2014 06:01 PM

I got to castle combe and back which is 320 miles.
Nurburgring is about 1/4 tank per lap !!!!!!

bigh221 12-10-2014 07:42 PM

Just got 321.6 👍

About 55miles? .. on track :) I think I can get the gauge on the fuel consumption app to hit 1.4mpg! :D economical I think when you consider how much fuel the space shuttle or a Saturn 5 Rocket burns..

In all seriousness though I have managed 346miles in my Classic Wagon STI, and that is fully laden with luggage, it was a slow drive though! average 65 odd! I would say your numbers are spot on, considering when your doing 70 your near that magic 3k rpm "I want to fuel for boost" mark on VF series turbo

i never do more than 250 on a tank (With 15-20ltrs left) cuz I dont like to run it with any less than that

ScoobyStu 13-10-2014 10:53 PM

Never ran out but I refill around 220 and usually have 5-8 litres left.

Reset mine every time and 140 - 150 is absolute best, if the roads are kind maybe 120 - 130 :-)
