How many miles do you get to a full tank?

I know this is dependent on type of journey etc and how you drive it but wanted to get an estimate. For about £30 my car is near empty after 200 or so miles is this normal?

Thanks,

Alex

I had GTE 8v up to till last december, I used to get between 200-260 miles from a full tank.
Sometimes got more but I'd have to take it very steady!!!!! not easy in a GTE!

Hope that helps.

dont worry mine is the same id say 125 miles ish to £20 thats town drivin and occasional red line action

 

[mk1 astra]

ohh yeah and thats super unleaded

 

[alexmac]

Glad im getting about the same as everybody else mpg wise. Yeah thats sitting in traffic for 10-15 min and town. Of course gtes were not meant to be driven "economically" all the time..

I think the 16v might be a bit more economical.

so, you have 9 gallon tank (42 litres ish) 22mpg.

fraid to say if your "having fun" around town thats about right, you should get 30+mpg on steady motorway stuff.

Drive ecconomically

Looks like the 8v really does use more fuel than the 16v...that sucks if you think about it.

I get 300 miles to £30 in the manta, which is an XE..........

God those 8valvers must be thirsty, £10 - 100 miles in ma car, so full tank dunno £45 of petrol, 450 miles out of my cav GSi! Sensible driving obviously!

 

[DarrenH]

you have 60 litre tank though

Flippin 'eck lads

I get above 30mpg in a Calibra Turbo !!!! lmao

 

[tomstickland]

The 2.0 8v aren't amazing on mpg.

Mine did about 220-260miles for a full tank when it was standard.
Since binning weight and fitting a decent exhaust system etc it returns 240-280 miles per tank.
That's all for "normal" driving which means a random mix of slow stuff, round town stuff, foot to the floor starts and some motorway 85mph stuff.

Well, my Mk3 2L 8v has a LR ratio box, which means a measly 2.5k at 70mph, but since fitting a new lambda, I really can't notice it using more fuel then the 1.3, which I once calculated does 34mpg around town, upto 360 miles/ tank (£33-34).

lol i only got a 1.4 and i get about 65-70 miles outta a tenner not exactly a beast is it lol
