Bout £45 in the corsa. And will be £37 in the mini. 7.5 gallon tank... So thats a range of only 300 miles :-S

Know one guy who had a tarted engine, and got 28 miles to the tank. Glad I don't own that.

My mate has just bought a 540i beemer, and he's averaging 20 mpg, i'm impressed, better economy than his 3 lt volvo.

I have a range of around 500 miles in mine. My 1.4 Civic had a range of around 260 at best.

When I first started driving, I'd get 190 out of it....

I suppose I get around 330 miles on a tank in my car. On motorways this can go up to 400 but if I rag it it could be as low as 240miles. I've been doing half tank fils so it's not so easy to judge now.
