Whats the most miles you have got out of a full tank 1.9sporting!!? fellas n ladiez

 

[Alex_gregory_uk]

about 400 i think. Have just changed to diesel ultimate though and think i'll get more from that.

603 miles,that was from Oldham to Plymouth and back,at an average speed of 64 mph ( on cruise control ) full tank plus a bit up the pipe,computer read 58.3 mpg,that was with 15000 miles on the clock,the 1st time with 1200 miles read 57.4 mpg,it can be done people,its boring for a 1.9 but I was just seeing what I could get,it won't happen again I promise.

I'd be annoyed with 400 miles then. I'd want at least 500 miles from a tank.

The ****ty Astra 1.7TD I have now will do 500 miles to about £40 so the Punto should be better.

400 miles was from £35 of petrol at about 40 mpg. My car always seems to click the petrol pump out before the tank is actually full. It clicks out and leaves the fuel gauge one notch before the full mark. Really annoying!!!! I want a proper full tank!!!

You can still fill it up even though its clicked can't you? I used to have a habit of filling up my old car until petrol went all over my pants because the fuel indicator/pump was faulty - that's when I know its really full

 

[Alex_gregory_uk]

thats what i did the one time I tried to fill it right up. Ended up with fuel all down the car and on the forecourt! Haven't being breave enough to try again!!!!

Are the fuel readers accurate? Mine always seems to dip really quickly? Apoligies for hijacking your thread

I've had cars in the past that stay "full" for ages, then dip quickly - it's the other way around with my 1.9 Sporting. I don't think I've ever managed to properly fill the tank either.

I averaged 55mpg on a 500-mile round trip - on a proper mix of roads and driving conditions. Keeping moving over 40 and below 70 is the trick.

420 is my best but i rarely drive it till the reserve lights on and that reserve is bloody massive!

I suddenly seem to be getting better mpg out of my 1.9 Sporting....I'd been v disappointed with the economy, getting around 38mpg on my average part city, part dual commute. Pretty cr*p I thought for the stated figures.

However, it's now consistently up at 42mpg with nearly 12k on the clock, but AFAIK nothing has changed (ie. no updates, my driving, the fuel I use etc). The weather is warmer, but that's all....could it be that?

Like others on this thread, I've only been getting between 4-500 miles on a tank, and my fuel guage moves far too quickly! :bang:

Just for comparision...

My Mk2 JTD gets 400 miles from a tank on average...
