Asad Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 As above chaps, ive really changed my driving style in the last couple of weeks....used to get 123-130 from the first half of the tank im now at 200 and i cant seem to get any higherAnyone consistently getting 200+ from the first half of the tank, according to the gauge??I do ~150 on the motorway and the rest is town driving Quote
Amjad Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I can't remember exactly but I think I last got 160-180 with a lot of uni luggage when I was coming back off holidays Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 more than i get im lucky if i get 200 on a full tank lol Quote
Amjad Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 We're NAs, one of the few things that's better I guess haha Quote
lilryan Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 sounds daft but if you run your car on say v-power you get better miles to gallon out off it and aswell say treat your car to a shot of redex injector cleaner every 1 to 2 months and regular servicing youll'll get better all round fuel return also on an n/a engine your better with a good quality pannel filter and drilling a few small holes in the bottom of the air box to make it flow better will also give you better fuel return on an n/a engine as with a open filter your sucking in to much air witch will then have to put more fule in to compensate for the extra air .

MARC MOSS Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 more than i get im lucky if i get 200 on a full tank lolLolz I know that feeling boost ftw Quote
LukeSR Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Yep I've pretty sure I've done 200+ miles to half a tank, mind you thats pure motorway miles Quote
lew777 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 was going to say lucky to get 200 miles to a full tank lol Quote
Billy SR Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 200 is pretty much a full tank for me haha Quote
Asad Posted March 11, 2012 Author Posted March 11, 2012 just done 150 with loads left to halfway....lets see what i get ner ner its already got a panel filter, will mull over the drilled airbox idea....tbh id be spending more on v-power and the redex which i can easily offset by using cheaper fuel and driving better....i cant see the v-power giving me any noticeable extra miles, unless someone has real life proof to say otherwise?200+ to the halfway mark seems a rarity.....you turbo guys should be getting better numbers if driven carefully Quote
ryan lang Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 i think imports get better mpg to v-poweri know my buddies 300zx gets better mpg from v-power anyway Quote
snails ep91 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 how much does it cost you guys to fill up a tank?mines been off road for 18 months and have no idea what its gonna take lol.will be interesting to see what it costs to run per mile etc.i remem ber i used to get about 350 miles to a tank average and i didnt drive carefully lol. this was when it was n/a Quote
Tom193 Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I put £30 in yesterday and it got to the 3/4 mark (fuel was £1.37 where I filled up). Drove 90 or so miles to Mablethorpe then the same route on the return, took it to just below half a tank, not bad going! Driving to/from work today which is about 6 miles each way through suburban areas seemed to use up just as much fuel as the whole of yesterdays road trip... Quote

Asad Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 got 200 bang on again lol, think ill just be content with that....70-80 more miles than i used to get....short trips just kill it all off :angry:its £45 to fill up for me, £25 to fill to the top half of the gauge Quote
SiCaln Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I was psyched to get 250 out of a full tank last week Quote
5T4R7ET N/A Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Asad with £25 your only getting around 17litres of petrol with todays prices.your getting 52-53MPG. thats good!! Quote
Liam_D Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 LOL i dont even get 200miles out of a full tank Quote
pick1 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 My gt would never get that mileage on half tank the closest thing to that is my disel Volvo s40 that's awsome on fuel Quote
LukeSR Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Think I just got 220 miles out the first half, mixture of motorway and town driving.. Quote
Tom193 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Had a long weekend out doing a hell of a lotta driving and managed 303 miles out of £40 of fuel, didn't quite take the gauge to the top but it wasn't all that far off. Quite pleased really it normally drinks it much faster than that Quote
Asad Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 300 to a tank is where im at now (£40-45) ^the top quater has the most fuel in can get 100miles from it then it just drops like a mofoquick pic for ya`all Quote
Amjad Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Managed 187 with all my luggage in the back on my way back from Soton last week with a very heavy foot so quite pleased with that Quote
Liam_D Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 thought i would add this to here,Went to Santa Pod yesterday and it took me half a tank to get there. Only boosted like twice aswell. so that was about 70miles outta the top half My car sucks on fuel. Quote
Amjad Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Stock ECU runs really rich Liam I'd put it down to that! Quote
