Very proud of my Stilo, managed to get just under 500 miles on a tank (y) (just about to go on red), but i decided to fill it up tonight on my way home from work as i dont want to be running out of diesel on the way to Alton Towers which would be a big mistake.

Im aiming for over 550 miles on this tank hopefully (depending on where i go with the car, but it will be a lot of motorway driving and straight a-road driving for the next few days :idea: ).

Not having my skyroof open because of either the poor weather, or because my sister is in the car helps also of course :confused: .

It means that i dont visit my garage for at least nearly 2 weeks on average.

sorry mate. just proud of my though :worship: .

Have you got a Panda 100hp, what are they like, i looked at taking out a bigger loan to get one until i found the Stilo.

How large is the tank, i used to get about 300 miles out of my 1.2 Micra. It costs me about £42 to fill up a few hours ago, i used to put about £30 in the Micra.

I have a 100HP now, my previous cars were a 2.4 Stilo Abarth selespeed and a 2.2 JTD Ulysse - one broke, the other I gave to the ex :eek:

Can't recall tank size, never tended to fill it up to the max anyway - the Ulysse was £80 to fill though :spin:
 
How many miles did you get out of the Ulysse. Bet your 2.4 Abarth was a petrol muncher.
Dunno, never checked - the wife used it on school runs, haha - longer runs was better, possibly 600 or so, but I used to put my foot down and kill it.

The 2.4 drunk petrol - so much fun though, even if only 20mpg or so :devil:

The 100HP, loving every minute of it :slayer: best car I have had I reckon, the handling and smile-factor is superb.
 
20mpg and 58k to an engine an clutch not good :p
Yep, BUT car was fully serviced at a main dealership - had warranty work soon after I purchased it, including selespeed actuator [car off-road for a few weeks] - oil and other levels were checked weekly as well, and topped up if needed.

The clutch was fine, all I stated was that I felt it MAY go within in a year - part of the justification of not forking out to get it fixed, once I broke the crank shaft and a conrod :slayer:
 
If your getting 500 miles out of a tank you must be doing about 45 mpg, I get about 400 or so out of mine around town(about 38 mpg) when I don't rag it. Mines the Stilo JTD 115:slayer:
 
I fill up my 1.6 about every two weeks, think I average around 38mpg on my daily commute and up to 44 out on the motorways so im happy! Could help that ive switch to the posh petrol but hey! (y)

I'm sure you meant diesel coyotes.
I get around 600miles from a tank (jtd), even the red light on, you still get another 100miles out of it.
