Hi Guys

Ive currently own a Fiat Bravo 1.9 D Multijet It has currently done over 96,000 Miles on the clock, Im currently have a range of 474Miles from £50 Tank. I do mostly drive on A roads, and city driving, Is this good ? The car has been serviced 3 months ago.

The car is a Diesel, If I was to do Motorway driving I range around 700miles.

My driving is pretty normal try to keep revs around 2000/2500 when changing gear. I dont speed around or take sharp corners. But what should I change to improve the range?

I have the 2 lt and get roughly 450 miles to a full tank to the light coming on with 100 miles left to empty. That is on normal A road driving with the odd wee spirited overtake. On a recent run down to york managed to get down and mostly back up on one tank of fuel which was a round journey of 520 miles before light came on.

get around 38mpg
so 402 miles from 48L
the joys of having a ford diesel

Topped fuel tank up with v power for £45. So far 320 miles and showing 150 miles on range. Showing just less than half

I have a 1.4 petrol 150 dynamic.

When eco driving I roughly get around 42mpg but I haven't seen it go any higher...

I managed 504 miles from a bit over 32 litres of diesel in my panda.

I put £30 in every fill up then reset the clock. It starts off saying range ~300miles, I try but i've never reached it. I max out 40MPG in an MJET150 mostly on dual carriage, further since the fuel price dropped, My cruise control eats about 10mpg on motorways, accelerating at stupid points, turn that off.

In my 1.4 T 150 I get around 350 from a full tank, when I was doing a lot of motorway miles where the speed was 60 the car was getting '550-600miles' from a full tank!....never happened though

I put £25 a week in, I average 41 MPG with 2 of us using it for work commutes 10 times a week

Her journey is about 3 mile
Mine is 6

That £25 also get me around on my social uses (going up the Hawthorns, visiting pals)

I've never really checked how many miles I do to a fill up but I'd estimate 150 a week so a£50 gives me bout 300 miles in my T-jet 120 . In city driving, which includes the 20 minute start stop traffic my missus hits every morning she goes to work.

Of course £50 is probably just 3 quarters of a tank maybe less, a full tank would probably get me 450-550 miles depending on if it is motorway or city driving

All this is rough and I do like to put my foot down here and there. Especially when 18 year old, financed corsa boy pulls up next to me, and I have to show him that my big family car eats his for breakfast :slayer:

But overall I'm happy with the usage I get from mine, if I really pushed it in a week I could probably get 45 MPG maybe more.

Also depends on if you drive it like you stole it,

I put £30 a week in and do about 200 miles a week with some to spare, I wouldn't say I drive it like I stole it but certainly like I didn't have permission...

£50 lasts about a month for me.......... Unless Mrs G has it in which case it's about two weeks

I just got rid of just over £100 today, Plymouth to Rockingham and back to Plymouth

Not worked out mpg don't really mind, just love driving the car (sorry the wife's car :bang

Well, thanks to the Tesco offer, I had 20p per litre off.
So, I headed down there with about 1/4 tank of fuel and 3 empty (25l) containers I just paid £93.90 for 100 litres of diesel

I do around 200km with 20€ on ym 1.4 T-Jet 150T.
Roughly 7.9l/100km

1.6d 105 Last tank said 838 range and cost £63. In reality its more like 600 averaging around 46mph. Using the 214lb/ft this engine rarely needs to go over 2200 rpm to get along pretty well.


Doing it another way the computer says it averages 57. If you boot it you get instant points on your licese and it drops rather to much to around 45mpg

Not a car I will love but it does seem quietly competent, quiet being the word on a long run!

Current fuel price is £1.149 a litre here at the moment and my car gets 62mpg (based on the last 20,000 miles) so £50 would take me 593.6 miles

When the fuel price dropped to 1.109 per litre a few weeks back that distance goes up to 615 miles

When the prices were high (£1.309 per litre) it calculates out at about 521 miles

A couple of pence on fuel makes very little difference but a few more pence and then some more and it soon adds up

Not really the best way to measure mpg using the range counter. I'm no mpg mathematician, but a full tank displays 700miles, and that's never going to happen.
Secondly, its impossible to determine how much fuel is put into the tank, and left in the tank.

Personally speaking, I find the average mpg counter fairly accurate, at least the numbers tally up.

I mostly tatter around town, and some motorway miles. I get 55mpg (+/- 2) each month. When running up the M6, and back I get 65mpg for the journey in the summer. 60mpg in winter.

I have (had) a 1.4 Dynamic. Just moved to a new 1.6 diesel car, and looking forward to comparisons.

50£ is 111litres of LPG in my country, and with my 120HP t-jet i make 1200-1300km or 750-800 miles, when i drive more carfully it goes 1500km/900+miles

Beat that diesel lovers

LPG is now 0.44£/liter or 0.63EU/liter
Petrol 95 otanes is 0.90£/l or 1.27EU/l

Beat that diesel lovers

Wish LPG was more easily availible near me - i'd so go for it!
